Arabian Jasmine is a legendary evergreen shrub or vine, revered for its intensely fragrant, pure white flowers that are central to cultural traditions and perfumery. Its small, single or double blooms open at night, releasing an intoxicating, sweet scent that is most potent in the evening and early morning. While it can be trained as a climber, it is often grown as a dense, rounded shrub in gardens. In Zone 9a, it may suffer frost damage and become semi-deciduous during cold snaps, requiring protection.

• Intensely Fragrant Night Blooms: The small, waxy white flowers are famous for their powerful, sweet perfume, strongest after dusk.

• Cultural & Culinary Significance: The flowers are used to make jasmine tea, garlands ('Mogra'), and are a primary source of jasmine absolute in perfumery.

• Versatile Growth Habit: Can be maintained as a compact shrub or trained to climb on a trellis or fence.

• Tender in Cool Climates: In Zone 9a, it is borderline hardy. It thrives in warm, sheltered spots but may lose leaves or suffer dieback in a frost. Ideal for containers that can be moved.

• Requires Warmth & Sun: Needs a warm, sunny location and well-drained soil to perform its best.
