Rose Jasmine (Jasminum Sambac)

Rose Jasmine, also known as Jasminum Sambac, is a fragrant and ornamental shrub native to Southeast Asia and widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions. This compact plant typically grows to 30–60 cm in height, with glossy, dark green, oval-shaped leaves that are pointed at the tip.

The plant produces small, star-shaped white flowers with a sweet and intoxicating fragrance, highly prized in perfumery and aromatherapy. Its blooms attract pollinators and make it a popular choice for gardens, parks, and indoor cultivation.

Rose Jasmine is relatively easy to care for and adaptable to a variety of well-drained soils. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and benefits from regular watering, especially during hot summer months. Occasional fertilization can enhance growth and flowering.
