There are several different varieties of Jasminum Sambac. This one is 'Maid of Orleans'
This particular one is considered a "vining shrub" . If not pruned it could reach 6 feet or more. The one shown is five feet tall when not pruned. They are fast growing plants. Their little flowers are single and about 3/4 inch. They only last one day. They begin to flower in the Spring and continue into the Summer. After they bloom, I trim them back, keep the cuttings and start new plants. They have a strong beautiful fragrance. I love going into the Greenhouse in the morning when they are blooming. It smells so good and is just a wonderful way to start the day. These plants are easy to propagate. Some people use these flowers to make tea. If you are interested in discussing this plant, please do.

One of my favorite tropical houseplants is this Gardenia Jasminoides 'Aimee'. The flowers are outstanding and large even on the younger plants. The fragrance is strong. The leaves are a beautiful shiny deep green. The perfect plant for a deck or patio. It must be brought inside in the winter months in some zones. When the weather is above 60 deg. at night, here in New Jeersey, these plants all go outside for the summer.
If you have any questions about this baby feel free to ask. I have been propagating and selling them for several years. I am more than happy to share information.
The above pictures are from my stock Standard Aimees. The plant at the right is at lest five years old.
The lower pictures are from two different two year old standard Aimees. First blooms for them this year.
