Summary

Jasminum sambac, commonly known as Arabian Jasmine, is an evergreen perennial shrub or vine. It originates from the Indian subcontinent and South Asia, where it thrives in tropical climates and can often be found in a variety of habitats including lowland forests and on mountain slopes. Arabian Jasmine typically grows to a height of 0.5 to 3 m (1.6 to 9.8 ft) and features glossy green leaves. Its flowers are particularly notable for their beauty and fragrance, blooming year-round in warm climates. The white flowers are about 2 to 3 cm (0.79 to 1.18 in) in diameter, with 5 to 9 lobes, and are borne in clusters. They open at night and close in the morning, lasting for 12 to 20 hours. The plant also produces a small purple to black berry.

Arabian Jasmine is highly valued for its intensely fragrant flowers, which are used in perfumes and to flavor tea. It is a popular ornamental plant in gardens and can be trained as a small shrub or vine. It is also used in lei making and for religious and ceremonial purposes. In cultivation, it requires protection from freezing temperatures and is often grown in greenhouses or conservatories in temperate regions. It prefers full sun to part shade, consistent moisture, and well-drained soils. Arabian Jasmine can be susceptible to pests such as aphids and scale insects.CC BY-SA 4.0
