(Night Jessamine) Shrub, spectacular for its intensely fragrant, but not particularly showy flowers which emit waves of perfume at night. The fragrance has been described variously as "resembling orange blossoms" and "sweet musk mingled with heliotrope." Will bloom repeatedly through the year if well-fed and watered. Can reach 8 ft. in height if not pruned back.
Plant night jasmine in moist, well-drained soil near a porch, patio or window that you might have open in the springtime. It needs plenty of light to bloom its best but will do fine even in filtered light. Since we are growing this plant for its nighttime blossoms of fragrance, we need to grow it where its performance will be enjoyed. Try also large containers with a night jasmine surrounded by colorful flowers of your choice.
