What flowers bloom at night and what time do they open?
Do you know these? An introduction to flowers that bloom at night, the blooming time of evening or night-blooming plants, and a detailed sharing of green plants and flowers to follow.
Night-blooming Cestrum is a plant that blooms at night. Most plants on Earth bloom during the day, especially when there is abundant sunlight, as this is when the petals of the plants are most vibrant. Only a few kinds of plants choose to bloom at night, usually between 8 to 10 pm, with the blooming period lasting about two hours.
The night-blooming Cestrum flowers open at night. After it gets dark, the white petals begin to bloom, emitting a strong fragrance at the same time. I have seen many plants, and the ones that left the deepest impression on me are the osmanthus and night-blooming Cestrum, especially the fragrance of the night-blooming Cestrum, which is more intense than perfume and can be smelled from a hundred meters away. The scent can even be somewhat overwhelming up close.
Many night-blooming plants may have strong fragrances. If you carefully observe the osmanthus, its petals also open at dawn, and the fragrance can be smelled in the morning. The dew at dawn moistens the leaves, and the leaves absorb a large amount of water, beginning to grow rapidly. At this time, the flower buds will bloom. When the sun comes out during the day, the flower buds will completely open, along with the fragrance of the osmanthus.
Many people may not have seen the night-blooming Cestrum. In our country, most people prefer flowering plants. Plants like the night-blooming Cestrum, which bloom at night, do not have a high sales volume in the flower market and are rarely purchased. If you have a balcony or a courtyard at home, you can choose to buy one, as they are very inexpensive, costing only a few dollars. It takes about two years to grow.

The night-blooming Cestrum is a large woody plant that can grow to about two meters in height. Over time, it can grow into a small tree, similar to the growth period of the osmanthus. The only difference is that the night-blooming Cestrum does not need to be grafted to bloom, while the osmanthus does. These two plants are essentially similar and are very suitable for养护 under the courtyard or on a balcony, but not for indoor placement.
For some plants with very strong fragrances, if they bloom at night, the scent will fill the entire room, severely affecting health. The fragrance of the night-blooming Cestrum is very strong and has超强 permeability. When not in bloom, it can be placed on the balcony as an ornamental leaf plant, but once in bloom, it should be moved outdoors.
In the southern region, it can be directly planted in the ground. Dig a hole, bury it in the soil, water it, and it will take root and grow. It has high viability and a survival rate of up to 100%. My family is from Shandong, and we have been growing night-blooming Cestrum for about three years. Now it is nearly 1 meter tall. Because the temperature is low in the north during the autumn and winter seasons, it stops growing after flowering. In the southern region, the temperature is high, and it grows continuously throughout the year.
The sharing above about what flowers bloom at night and their blooming times, as well as an introduction to evening or night-blooming plants, hopes to bring some knowledge of flowers to green plant enthusiasts.
