I planted this Jamsmine in Canton of China. It is a very spoil plant. It does not bloom that easy. The flower but easily die and dry out before they bloom. You can barely find a couple
of flower buds in the bloom season.

It is a hard to find plant. The simple version of the Asian Jasmines are bloom like Hybrid.

I planted this Jasmine in 1996 in my garden in St. Petersburg, FL (zone 9b). It is in front of my porch on the NE corner of the house. It gets a bit of morning sun, but it is quite filtered by the neighbor's tall oaks and my Crape Myrtle. I wove the branches through the porch railings as they grew, but now I see that I'll have to pull out a lot of it because it's starting to over-run a lot of other things. It grows upright to about 3 or 4 feet, then cascades and grows outward, running along the ground and rooting at various intervals. The blossoms are just now opening, and my porch will be enveloped in a heavenly scent for a good long blooming period. The soil must be acid because of all the oak leaves. It is quite rich also. I rarely fertilize, and the only water it gets is from the rain, which is usually a lot in the summer, but can be drought-like from September through May. A brief freeze this winter that wiped out my basil and defoliated the Jatropha didn't faze this Jasmine.
