100 litre pot. | Eucalyptus pauciflora
Commonly known as: Snow gum, Cabbage gum or White Sally.
The Snow Gum is a white trunked beauty and is recognizable by its wonderful twisted growing habit, which originates from the tree's coping mechanism for loads of snow in its native Aussie alpine home. It produces white flowers in spring/summer. | Cestrum nocturnum
Night Blooming Jasmine is noted for its white-yellow, tubular flowers that bloom at night! The flowers close during the day. When in bloom, the flowers release a scent of sweet perfume that pervades the area within 300-500 ft of the plant! Unlike what many may think, Night Blooming jasmine is not a jasmine. It is a jessamine which is part of the nightshade or Solanaceae family and can be poisonous to dogs and people if eaten.
CAUTION Harmful if eaten/skin, eye & respiratory irritant. |
