Parijat (Nyctanthes arbor-tristis), known as Harsingar or Shiuli, is a much-loved small tree native to the Indian subcontinent and steeped in mythology. Its small star-shaped flowers have white petals and a striking orange-red tube, opening at night to release a sweet fragrance and carpeting the ground at dawn. The rough, dark-green leaves clothe a spreading, shrubby tree. Hardy and easy to grow across most of India, Parijat flowers profusely after the monsoon. The fallen flowers are used in worship, garlands and natural orange dye, while leaves are valued in traditional Ayurvedic medicine.

Frequently asked questions

How often should I water Parijat?
Water moderately, when the top layer of soil dries out. Established trees are quite drought-tolerant; avoid waterlogging the roots.
How much sunlight does it need?
Parijat flowers best in full sun. Plant it in an open, bright spot to get the heaviest post-monsoon bloom.
Is Parijat safe for pets?
Yes, it is generally non-toxic and its leaves are even used in traditional medicine, making it a safe choice around children and pets.
When should I repot it?
Repot young potted plants once a year in spring. It grows best planted directly in the ground where roots can spread freely.
How do I propagate Parijat?
Propagate from seeds, semi-hardwood cuttings or layering. Seeds sown after the monsoon and cuttings in the warm season root readily.
Why is my Parijat not flowering?
Insufficient sunlight or a very young plant are common causes. Ensure full sun, feed before the flowering season and be patient as trees mature.
When does Parijat bloom?
It blooms mainly after the monsoon through autumn, with flowers opening at night and falling to the ground by morning.
Can I grow it in a pot?
Yes, young plants grow well in large pots on terraces, but they flower best and grow larger when planted in the ground.
Are the flowers and leaves useful?
Yes. Flowers are used in worship and as a natural orange dye, while the leaves are valued in Ayurveda for various traditional remedies.
What fertiliser should I use?
Apply compost or organic manure plus a balanced NPK fertiliser before the flowering season to encourage abundant blooms.
