Arabian Jasmine

These are literally 3-5cms tall

Botanical Name: Jasminum sambac

Arabian Jasmine is a fast-growing, highly fragrant evergreen climber or sprawling shrub celebrated for its intensely scented white blossoms. The flowers open pure white and mature to a soft pinkish-purple, filling the warm air with an iconic sweet perfume. It's ideal for backyard growers wanting a versatile, aromatic plant for patio pots, trellises, or sunny food forest edges in Perth.

Features:

Ideal prune height range: 1.5-3m

pH growing conditions: 5.5 to 6.5

Shade or full sun: Prefers full sun to partial shade; benefits from afternoon shade in harsh Perth summer heat

Minimum pot year 5: 30-40L pot

Time to flower age: Flowers heavily in its first to second year.

Arabian Jasmine forms a bushy, climbing vine with shiny dark green leaves and clusters of star-shaped, starry flowers that bloom continuously from late spring through autumn. It thrives in rich, free-draining soil with regular watering during the warm months and generous organic liquid feeding. Regular tipping and post-flowering pruning keep it neat, bushy, and covered in fresh blooms.

Interesting Notes:
The flowers are widely used to scent green tea, create natural essential oils, and make traditional floral garlands or soothing herbal tea infusions.

The aromatic blossoms open mostly at night and release their strongest perfume during cooler evening temperatures.

A fantastic pollinator-attracting climber to wrap around arches, outdoor seating areas, or warm microclimates in urban permaculture gardens.
