It starts to bloom early in April and continues on until Fall. That is in the greenhouse of course.
I have some of the cuttings, three inches tall with no leaves and a bloom on them. Looks so funny. It is probably the most popular Sambac.
I sell a lot of mine to people from the Middle East. The New York population is always looking for them. I have a list to tell when I have plants ready. I also supply the Farmers Market with theirs and they keep them for a few months before they put them out to sell. I put a picture of my oldest stock plant in the new plant files. In fact I just destroyed her this year when she was done blooming. She had to be 7 years old and I could no longer keep her pretty. This past winter she got very cold and never seemed to recover, yet she bloomed and produced for me.
She is one of the four Sambac they use for Jasmine Tea. Maid, Belle of India, Mysore Muilli, and Arabian Knight are the ones I know of used for tea.
