In Lahore Pakistan, this plant had 2 variants. One which becomes a small tree of about 10-15 feet. Other variety is dwarf shrub of 2-4 feet. Fragrance is divine and reaches far around the area. I have planted 2 dwarf varieties, one in soil bed and another in clay pot. Blooms heavily in rainy season monsoon but occasionally in other warmer months as well. This is the queen of fragrance, no match with other jasmines. Jasmine sambac does compete it though.

Love this plant! I have dwarf wariety and enjoy it's shiny lacy leaves, interesting greish stem and those absolutely wonderful flowers. It starts blooming being only 1 inch tall and is almost everblooming given warm temps and bright light. It can be grown as a small houseplant but the bigger a pot the bigger it grows. It branches beautifully and looks like bonsai with no effort on your part plus the heavenly smell no bonsai could even dream of. Well worth $20 I've spent on-line to get it.

I have a lot of these growing in Los Angeles. One is at 10 feet tall almost blocking a picture window of a second floor apartment. The former tenants complained about bees but everybody loves the scent. I just bought a small plant to replace a few plants that the gardener dug up after the building was tented for termites. Although the plants lost their leaves the remaining bushes sprang back to life in a couple of months. I have had success in propagating cuttings of this plant by putting the gardener's trimmings in potting soil during our short rainy season. They must have been popular in Los Angeles during the 30's and 40's when these plants were put in the ground.

Here in Northeastern Oklahoma, this beauty must
be brought indoors during the cold weather. When
in bloom, it's fragrance is absolutely divine, filling
the house with floral scent you can't help but to keep
inhaling.
Aphids can be a problem.
