About Parijat (Night Jasmine)

Small tree with fragrant white, orange-tubed flowers that open at night. Flowering trees bring seasonal colour at canopy height, turning driveways, boundaries and lawns into a show every year. Our Parijat (Night Jasmine) trees are grown to 10–12 ft so you get a finished look on planting day, without waiting years for a sapling to mature.

Planting a mature Parijat (Night Jasmine)

Dig a pit twice as wide as the root ball. Set the tree with the top of the root ball level with the ground, backfill with soil and well-rotted manure, then stake against wind.

Care after planting

Water twice a week for the first three months. Apply a balanced NPK and organic manure before the monsoon. Prune lightly after flowering to shape the canopy.
