Jasminum laurifolium, commonly known as angel wing jasmine, is a semi-evergreen vine native to a variety of habitats including montane forests and valleys in the Himalayas, Nepal, Assam, Bangladesh, Tibet, south-central and southeast China, Hainan, Myanmar, and Thailand. It can grow up to 10 feet (3 meters) in height and width, with a twining growth habit that makes it suitable for trellises and arbors. Angel wing jasmine is characterized by its glossy, dark green leaves and highly fragrant, white flowers that bloom in clusters from spring to fall, adding a long season of interest. The flowers are particularly showy due to their contrast against the foliage and their intense fragrance.

This plant is valued for its ornamental qualities, including its perfumed flowers and attractive foliage. It is often used in gardens for vertical interest, as a fragrant addition to patios and outdoor living areas, and as a screen or hedge when supported. Angel wing jasmine prefers well-drained soil and full sun to part shade conditions. While it is relatively low-maintenance, it may require regular pruning to maintain shape and promote vigorous growth. Gardeners should consult local regulations and monitor plantings outside its native range to prevent unwanted spread.CC BY-SA 4.0
