What information is there about the Scarlet Cestrum shrub?

Answer 1

The Scarlet Cestrum [Cestrum fasciculatum 'Newellii'] handles full sun or partial sun and partial shade. It has a mature height of 10-12 feet/3-3.6 meters. It sports tube shaped, vivid flowers summer through fall. Once they fade, the blooms are followed by attractive but highly toxic red purple berries. In fact, all parts of the plant must be avoided in terms of human contact. Broken or bruised parts bleed a sap that's as toxic as the berries if consumed by humans.
