| I have one that bloomed for the first time this year. It is about 5 years old and 8 ft tall. I was told they need to reach that kind of maturity in order to bloom.
Sounds like you need some patience. |

| Do you have Artabotrys hexapetalus which is a woody climber, or Cananga odorata which is a tree?
Both need to be mature before they produce flowers.
The Artabotrys will need support and trimming to train it into a bush. The Cananga will need to be trimmed to maintain it as a bush, so it does not get too large.
They will need large pots to mature in your area, and do best in full Sun.
Here is Artabotrys hexapetalus.

| You're very welcome Belle! The two different Ylang-ylang plants are easily identifiable by their leaves. |

| I have the Cananga too bellieg - mine has been in the ground for two years and nothing so far. Good to know that I don't have a dud! My tree is looking surprisingly healthy given my climate and my rather brown thumb.

| Hey Isaac, Ylang-ylang flowers have traditionally been used to make perfume oil. It is a carrier for other scents. |
