Jasmine Flower

The Jasmine plant is another commonly seen plants around here in the tropics. They are hardy and easy to grow. As long as there is sunlight and the soil is well-drained, they are happy. They can be grown in pots or directly in the ground. If you are creative, you can grow them as hedges, or wall-side borders, or you can prune them back as ground covers.

Jasmine flowers are perennial. They bloom all year round. The flowers are mostly white in colour – pure white, and very pretty. They contrast very well with the leaves which are glossy, and bright green.

Although they are known for their fragrant, not all species of Jasmine are fragrant. Some Jasmine flowers have no fragrant. The fragrant is most noticeable in the evening or early morning, when the temperature is lower, the air is fresher and still.

Jasmine are cultivated not just as an ornamental shrub. They are also cultivated for their perfumery uses like soap, lotions as well as essential oils. They are also grown for tea-making. Jasmine tea is a popular tea with a nice fragrant. The roots of jasmines are touted to have medicinal values.

Jasmines are, ironically, a genus of shrubs in the olive family.
