Perfume in a pot: exotic Dwarf Chanel No 5 Tree
Cananga fruticosa - Dwarf Ylang-Ylang Tree, Chanel No 5 Tree
- ⭐️ The Chanel No. 5 tree in a pot? Yep.
- ⭐️ It stays nicely shaped like a little tree, blooms year-round in warm weather, and does great in a container. Just give it bright light, and if the air is humid, you'll get that dreamy fragrance in full force.
- ⭐️ A perfect plant for anyone who wants their space to smell amazing - naturally.
Cananga fruticosa - Dwarf Ylang-Ylang Tree, is the compact cousin of the famous perfume tree. It has the same elegant, drooping flowers that smell like the original Ylang-Ylang - the scent behind Chanel No. 5 - just in a smaller, easy-to-grow version.

Grows in neglect: tough plant for tough spots
Devils Backbone, Jacobs Ladder - Pedilanthus tithymaloides
- 🌿If you've got a dry, rough patch where nothing wants to grow, try Devil's Backbone, or Jacobs Ladder - Pedilanthus tithymaloides.
- 🌿This plant is seriously tough. It handles heat, drought, poor soil - no complaints.
- 🌿Its zig-zag stems look like they were folded by hand, and the little pink flowers are a nice surprise.
- 🌿Low maintenance, spreads well, and doesn’t mind being ignored.
- 🌿Great as a groundcover, border filler, or just doing its thing in a forgotten corner.
