Fragrant Epiphyllum Orchid Cactus For Sale | Queen of the Night

We love plants that stray from the norm, and the extraordinary Epiphyllum Oxypetalum is about as far outside the box as they come! This Orchid Cactus has several names that allude to its "dark side," including Queen of the Night, Night Blooming Cereus, and Lady of the Night. The glistening white, 8-10" blooms open in the late evening, releasing an exquisite perfume until they finally close at dawn. Sure, they only last one night, but if you treat them well, these plants will produce up to a dozen blooms at a time, with several flushes throughout the summer!

Now, don't let the drama of this Orchid Cactus fool you because they're actually one of the easiest and most forgiving plants to grow. Grow them outdoors in the ground or indoors in containers - you can even tie the long, wavy, flattened stems to a lattice to train vertical growth or encourage branching. These night bloomers make memorable gifts for gardeners, "brown thumbed" friends, or yourself!
