Perfume Flower Tree (Fagraea ceilanica)
Perfume Flower
Tree, or Fagraea ceilanica, is
world renowned for its fragrant,
creamy-white flowers.
Although each blossom lasts
only a day or two, Perfume
Flower Tree blooms for several
months during the summer,
and the flowers have a delicate
sweet scent to delight
any passerby. This Southeast
Asian native has an upright
shrubby growth habit with
leathery, glossy leaves, and it’s
easily grown in a container. As an epiphyte, it tolerates erratic watering, and in the
Northeast, Perfume Flower Tree blooms in summer. It makes a wonderful addition
to a patio garden. Grow in full to partial sun. Our plants are produced by cuttings
off the flowering wood, so they bloom sooner than seed grown plants.
