Hi - I am looking for this plant (either a rooted plant or clippings). I can offer clippings of pink oleander, night blooming jasmine or peach-colored hibiscus. I can also offer seeds or rooted Baptisia australis (Blue False Indigo). if you are looking for something else, email me as I may have it to offer (and am just not thinking of it right now). thanks! Rini

I have heard that the germination rate for coral jasmine is pretty low. So I have found from my experience too. Tried several methods. But the one that finally worked is using the scarring method http://forums.gardenweb.com/discussions/2174970/parijat-nyctanthes-seeds-planting-help

Hmmm the cestrum nocturnum that bloom here the best seem to be the ones on the front flowerbed and they get light from the windows in the house at night plus the porch light that stays on most of the night. There are 5 huge ones out there. I have more in the back yard and they flower pretty well back there in total darkness too. They do bloom on new growth. I cut mine back (if they didn't die back in the winter) then feed them a bunch of miracle grow and top dress with composted chicken or rabbit manure. They seem to flower best in full sun. If you keep trimming them back a little after each huge flower flush you can keep them blooming till frost. I keep a few in pots as well Hawk Moths love the nectar I do also have an Indian Night Jasmine Tree (Nycanthes arbortristis) that seems to like total darkness at night. It also blooms on new growth.

Thanks. I wonder how large the seeds will be? I will probaby plant them shallowly after I follow your method. I don't know how long they take to flower from seed. I have tried to root it before but not much luck. I am gonna try again in the spring. I got my plant from zone9tropicals. They send a pretty good sized plant for the price. They are out of stock right now but you can ask them when they would have them again. Several yrs ago I had one that I bought at Logees. They don't list it in the catalog any longer but I know that they may still be growing them and may sell them if you email them. That is how I got mine. They sell them in very small pots though.
