Sweetly fragrant, Jasminum officinale (Common Jasmine) is a large semi-evergreen or deciduous climbing shrub adored by gardeners for its vigorous habit, graceful look, and heavenly fragrance. In late spring or early summer, it produces a large flush of bountiful clusters of 3-5 fragrant flowers, 1 in. wide (2 cm), on strong twining stems clad with rich green leaves counting up to 7-9 leaflets. Blooming continues all summer until frost. Jasmine ranks as a top choice among tropical flowers for enthusiasts and gardeners.
