This was growing Mounts Botanical Gardens at West Palm Beach and I
thought it was beautiful. For size comparison see my hand. Would it
be possible to grow or is it a hot place tree/shrub which maybe could
survive in a heated garden room, which I don't have, yet.
Many thanks
Could be a Cestrum, possibly fasciculatum Newellii. If it is, it wouldn't
be hardy with you, so you'd have to grow it in a pot. Even then, it might
not get to that size of leaf and flower cluster in your garden but it's
still a lovely thing and worth growing. Cestrum nocturnum is another
stunner in a sunny garden because it releases a fabulous scent at night.
