| What is the most fragrant Jasmine plant? I would like to plant some near my windows so I can enjoy the fragrance. And, where does Jasmine work best? Full or partial sun, morning or afternoon sun? I love the kind that climbs up a trellis, will it work by my front door in full afternoon sun in 100 to 120 degree summers? |
If you're after a true jasmine, try Spanish Jasmine (Jasminum grandiflorum), a sprawling vine that grows 10-15 feet with glossy green leaves and loose clusters of fragrant white flowers. There is also a Primrose Jasmine (Jasminum mesnyi) that grows long, arching branches (6-10 feet) and bright yellow flowers. Trachelospermum, the Star Jasmine, needs some shade from the hot afternoon sun, but grows twining vines to 20 feet long. White, sweet-scented flowers are profuse in the early summer. |
| Jasmine is my favorite! I've experienced common jasmine as the most fragrant surprisingly however my personal favorites of my favorite jasmine are the grand duke of Tuscany and the grand duke supreme which are absolutely beautiful huge blooms, very fragrant, love heat and sun but prefer afternoon shade. I do keep mine inside under grow lights because I am stubborn lol. The two I have do require some arrangement to stay on the support I have. The older growth tends to become a little woody. |
