| Botanical Name | Cestrum 'Orange Peel' |
| Description | A hybrid with incredible vigor specifically suited for the Southeast Texas climate. It loves the Houston humidity and blooms repeatedly through the summer heat. While it is adaptable to many soil types, it performs best in well-draining areas. In heavy clay, planting slightly high or amending the soil will help prevent root rot during our wet winter periods. |
| Exposure | Full sun to partial sun |
| Height x Width | 6-8 ft. Tall x 6-8 ft. Wide |
| Water | Moderate; prefers consistent moisture but is relatively drought-tolerant once established in the landscape. |
| Zones | 7b - 11 (Root hardy in the Houston area) |
| Fertilization | Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring and mid-summer to fuel its continuous blooming cycle. |
| Pruning | Can be pruned hard in late winter to maintain a specific size or rejuvenate growth; it blooms on new wood. |
| Deer Resistance | High |
