It was the first to get my attention! Can you tell us where we can get one? Wayne
The large evergreen Cestrum aurantiacum plant has bright yellow flowers in late Spring continuing through the Summer. The Cestrum aurantiacum plant was selected as the Florida Plant of the Year in 2000.

Is it evergreen here?

We just bought one in Nacogdoches. She told us it is not evergreen here. It dies back, and returns in the Spring.
