The Fragrant Jewel of the Tropics
Orange jasmine (Murraya paniculata), also known as mock orange or satinwood, is a charming tropical shrub treasured for its glossy foliage, clusters of delicate white flowers, and intoxicating citrus-like fragrance. Native to South and Southeast Asia, this plant is a popular choice for hedges, ornamental gardens, and even bonsai due to its elegant appearance and delightful scent.
Orange jasmine is a dense, bushy plant that can grow up to 12 feet (3.5 meters) tall under optimal conditions. Its dark green, glossy leaves create a beautiful backdrop for its small, star-shaped white flowers. These blooms typically appear in clusters and release a delightful citrus-jasmine fragrance, especially in the evening. The plant also produces small, oval-shaped orange to red berries that are attractive to birds.
Orange jasmine blooms intermittently throughout the year in warm climates, with peak flowering usually occurring in spring and summer. The plant is a magnet for pollinators like bees and butterflies, adding vitality and motion to any garden it graces.
