Jasmine ( Jasmine officinale )

without comments

Jasmine needs to be in a south facing window where it will get lots of sun. If you live in a place where winter strikes you’ll find it is difficult to get this plant all the light it desires in the winter. It is happiest in a sunny, drafty window.

The flowers are heavily scented and there are almost always a couple in bloom. What is nice is that they don’t fill the house with the scent you must be up close to the flower to catch a whiff of the scent. Flowers are usually white, occasionally yellow.

Keep the soil moist watering this plant does not like to be dry.
