In Lahore Pakistan, this is an evergreen vine/shrub. It blooms nonstop from March till November. Exotic blooms, great fragrance. I am growing it in a clay pot of 14 inches. In extreme summer heat of 100F+ it does slow down but as soon as weather comes back it starts again in july. It is more of a sprawling shrub than a vine. dead heading does promote more blooms.

Ive been growing this plant for about a year now, and for about 8 months it was in the pot i bought it in. during the late summer i was on vacation and it lost 1/3 of its leaves, and since i didnt give it any winter protection it lost 1/2 of the leaves that were left. However since the beginning of our local spring, it has gained back all of its leaves and is bigger than ever. Its also producing more blooms than before.

My experience has been positive, especially considering the fact that I have badly neglected this poor plant (still in pot from nursery after 2 years!). I forget to water it for weeks and leave it baking in the sun on the patio so it dries up to the point where it looks dead, but then snaps back when I water. It seems to need a semi-shaded area.

Suitable for greenhouse culture, where it will bloom steadily throughout the year. Cuttings root consistently, but take longer for me than others in the genus. Watch for mealybugs.

I purchased my plant, about a month ago. Fully blooming and extremely fragrant. I re-potted in a larger pot, kept out on my balcony in morning sun and have almost lost every flower, they have dried up and died. Don't know what's wrong...someone please advise, I miss that fabulous fragrence in the evenings when I'm enjoying my balcony.

This plant has wonderful fragrant, white flowers that have bloomed constantly since I purchased it from our local nursery in April 2005. It is currently growing in a pot on my deck, but I'll probably transplant it in the yard and trailis it as it loves to drape.

I've had my plant for about 2 months and it's almost tripled in size. Because I live in zone 5. . almost 6 I will have to take my vine inside for the winter but that shouldn't be a problem. I've noticed today that there is a seed pod hanging from an old flower shoot. . it's like a 2 inch green straight bannana and I'm very much sure it's a seed pod. . this should be an interesting experience. It's constantly flowering along side my Sambac bushes.

I feel the Made In New Orleans Jasmine Vine is a greate plant ***

Positive Pikake55 On Jun 13, 2004, Pikake55 from Pahoa, HI wrote:

This is a very fragrant flower, closely related to the jasmine known in Hawaii as pikake. Its fragrance is ammenable to making perfumes. In Hawaii, this particular jasmine is known as star pikake. I have cut my own plant back numerous times, trying to make it bush, but it seems to prefer to grow in an almost vine-like fashion. It does okay in heavily shaded areas, which might tend to cause it to grow in this manner for me. It needs well drained soil, more acid conditions. My plant is in rocky cinder-soil.

I love this plant. It looks beautiful with it's white flowers and deep green leaves. I put the vines growing along my fence and trailed some of them so they lay on top of the rocks in my outdoor water fountain.

I have it in the shade because the sun gets very hot here.

The plant stays pretty all year round here and grows and grows.

I got mine from a stem cutting. Put it on drained organic soil, and watered everyday until it started to grow again. It's now sharing the vase with an invasive cotton plant (planted it there by accident, actually), but even competing for water and soil, it blooms constantly. At nights I can sense the delicious smell from the star shaped white flowers. Sometimes nocturnal moths visit them.

Evergreen vine in warm climates. It can reach to heights up to 20 ft. Very fragrant white star shaped flowers in endless clusters. Responds well to drastic pruning.
