I am a vigorous, evergreen perennial known for my clusters of small, highly scented white blooms and glossy green leaves.

I am native to the tropical regions of South and Southeast Asia, where I am culturally revered for my heavenly scent.

I love water! Keep my soil consistently moist, especially during the hot summer, but make sure the pot drains well to avoid soggy roots.

I thrive in full sunlight to partial shade; I need at least 4 to 6 hours of bright light to produce my best flowers.

I am happiest in warm, humid climates between 20°C and 35°C and must be protected from frost and cold drafts.

I prefer rich, loamy, well-drained soil and love having a trellis or fence to climb as I grow.

I am a heavy bloomer; feed me with a high-phosphorus liquid fertilizer or organic compost every 15 days during the flowering season.

My scientific name is Jasminum sambac and I belong to the Oleaceae family.

I am generally considered non-toxic to cats and dogs, making me a safe and fragrant choice for pet-friendly gardens.

My intense natural perfume acts as a biological air freshener, and my foliage helps maintain humidity and oxygen levels.

I am widely used in aromatherapy for stress relief, in making traditional garlands, and for flavoring delicious jasmine teas.

I can be bothered by spider mites or mealybugs, and my leaves may turn yellow if I don’t get enough sunlight or iron.

I am a long-lived perennial and, with regular pruning to encourage new growth, I can bloom for 15 to 20 years.
