Shrubs - Arabian Jasmine

Intoxicating white flowers on woody free-formed sturdy shrubs. This true jasmine produces clusters of small white highly fragrant flowers in late spring to summer. Large, glossy dark green leaves cloak woody, rambling branches to form billowy, irregular shaped shrubs to around 4 ft. high and wide. In China, the flowers are main ingredient for Jasmine teas. Plants are low maintenance, with moderate to high water use in low deserts and they require morning sun with afternoon shade or site them under shade trees with dappled mid-day sun. They do not tolerate western or afternoon sun. Given room to grow to full size, little to no pruning is necessary.
