Arabian Jasmine

Jasminum Sambac

The Arabian Jasmine is a loose-growing vining shrub that blooms with such breathtaking fragrance; it rivals those of the citrus family and even the infamous Gardenia! It may bloom sporadically throughout the year, but you will most likely observe it in all its glory during the summertime. It has a tendency to perform extremely well in containers, and with its heavy fragrance, as well as attractive dark green foliage, it is an ideal candidate for any shady, oasis-like patio location. This plant requires very minimal pruning and produces very little debris, a perfect combination for the lazy gardener.
