Orange jasmine

Orange jasmine is an evergreen, fine-textured shrub with glossy dark-green leaves and clusters of fragrant white flowers. In warm tropical and subtropical gardens it can flower through the year, and its red fruit may attract birds. Its dense branching suits a clipped hedge, screen, or topiary, while a container keeps its size easier to manage. ## Landscape Use Use it as a fragrant evergreen boundary or formal hedge, or train a young plant to a short trunk for a small standard. The Singapore National Parks Board describes plants usually maintained at 2.5–3.5 m, with occasional taller growth, so allow room for regular shaping. Its white flowers and red fruit add seasonal detail where the climate supports them. [NParks Flora & Fauna Web](https://www.nparks.gov.sg/florafaunaweb/flora/2/2/2239) ## Site & Care Plant in full sun for the best flowering; it tolerates light shade and a range of soils. Rich, moist, well-drained loam is a sound starting point. Water moderately while the plant establishes, then adjust irrigation to rainfall, soil drainage, and container conditions. It suits warm climates; the source describes tropical and subtropical growing conditions rather than a USDA hardiness range. ## Maintenance Trim after a flush or as needed to maintain a hedge or topiary, and avoid removing too much flowering growth at once. Keep container-grown plants evenly watered and provide protection from cold where winters fall outside its warm-climate range.
