Rombusa | Flower of Love | Tabernaemontana corymbosa

Originally they grow in scrub or forest in the areas of mixed woods and brushwoods. In several parts of Thailand and Malaysia, the roots are used as an ingredient of arrow poison. They are also a remedy for syphilitic afflictions, sores, and fractures in traditional medicine.

These plants are evergreen tropical shrubs that are easily grown and don’t ask for a lot. Their attractive flower continues to grow all year and they are best placed in half-shaded areas. They are unaffected by seasonal climate changes. That is why they are a reliable choice for landscape planting that gives white blooms throughout the year.
