There are several different varieties of Jasminum Sambac. This one is 'Maid of Orleans'
This particular one is considered a "vining shrub" . If not pruned it could reach 6 feet or more. The one shown is five feet tall when not pruned. They are fast growing plants. Their little flowers are single and about 3/4 inch. They only last one day. They begin to flower in the Spring and continue into the Summer. After they bloom, I trim them back, keep the cuttings and start new plants. They have a strong beautiful fragrance. I love going into the Greenhouse in the morning when they are blooming. It smells so good and is just a wonderful way to start the day. These plants are easy to propagate. Some people use these flowers to make tea. If you are interested in discussing this plant, please do.
