Because of the fragrance, this plant is nice to plant near a patio or pool. Performing exceptionally well in containers, this species creates a dazzling display of long tubular blossoms from late spring through fall. Flowers emerge pure white and age to cream emitting a spicy fragrance in the evening. Fruit is a small round capsule containing many seeds. Prefers filtered light. All parts of a plant are toxic, especially roots and fruits, to a lesser degree leaves.
