Also called Arabian Jasmine, this plant is known for its fragrant white flowers. Sambac Jasmine blooms throughout the year.
How to care for Sambac Jasmine
Light. Like most jasmines, it needs full sun, or at least bright light, to grow and bloom well.
Water. Water often while it settles in, then keep the soil evenly moist but never soggy. It needs soil that drains well.
Soil and feeding. Plant in moist, well-drained soil. In a pot, use a quality potting soil with good drainage.
Size. Grows to about 5 ft. In containers jasmines usually stay 4–5 ft and are easy to prune to size.
Pruning. Trim right after a flush of flowers to keep it compact.
Problems to watch. Outdoor plants seldom have trouble. Aphids, spider mites, leaf spot and root rot can occur; treat aphids with Insecticidal Soap.
