Maid of Orleans Jasmine (Jasminum sambac 'Maid of Orleans') is a popular, evergreen vining shrub known for its intense, sweet-smelling, white, star-shaped flowers that bloom from spring to fall. It thrives in full sun to partial shade, reaching up to 10 feet in height, making it ideal for trellises or containers.
Key Features and Care:
- Appearance: Features dark green, glossy, oval leaves and single-layered, 5-petaled white flowers.
- Fragrance & Usage: Highly aromatic, often used for tea (especially in China), garlands, and in the perfume industry. It is the national flower of the Philippines.
- Light: Requires full sun to partial shade, needing at least 4 hours of direct sunlight daily.
- Watering & Soil: Prefers consistently moist, well-drained soil, but should not be left in standing water.
- Temperature: Best suited for warm climates or as a houseplant, as it should be protected from temperatures below 50°F (10°C).
- Growth Habit: Can be grown as a vine or pruned into a shrub.
Commonly referred to as Sampaguita or Pikake, this variety is known for being less finicky than other jasmine types, provided it has adequate sunlight and moisture.
