Jasminum Polyanthum

Jasminum polyanthum, commonly known as Pink Jasmine or Many-Flowered Jasmine, is a fast-growing evergreen twining climber prized for its spectacular display of fragrant flowers. This vigorous vine can reach heights up to 20 feet (6 meters) when supported, with slender, twining branches and pinnately compound leaves consisting of 5 to 9 dark green leaflets that are paler underneath. In late winter to early spring, Jasminum polyanthum produces abundant clusters of star-shaped, highly fragrant white flowers that emerge from striking pink to reddish buds, creating a stunning floral show with a delightful scent. The flowers, about 2 cm in diameter, are excellent for cutting and add elegance to any garden or outdoor space.

Growing Jasminum polyanthum

Light: Thrives in full sun to partial shade for optimal growth and flowering.

Soil: Adapts well to a variety of well-drained soil types, including chalk, loam, and sand, and tolerates a wide pH range from acidic to alkaline.

Water: Prefers moderate moisture; withstands periods of drought once established but grows best with regular watering.

Maintenance: Low maintenance; prune after flowering to prevent legginess and encourage fuller growth. The plant can spread vigorously and may root at leaf nodes, so training and containment may be necessary.

Hardiness: Best suited for USDA zones 8 through 10 but can be grown in cooler zones as an annual or greenhouse plant.

Wildlife: Attracts hummingbirds and pollinators with its abundant, sweetly scented flowers.
