The Night Blooming Jasmine is a sprawling evergreen shrub with long, slender stems. It can grow to 12 feet tall, but usually in gardens it is closer to 4 feet tall. Clusters of yellow-white to pale green flowers form along the stems several times a year, and the inch-long flowers open at night to release one of the worldās most powerful flower scents. Sweet and spicy, it spreads all across your garden, turning summer nights into exotic holidays.
Grow the Night Blooming Jasmine in full sun for the most blooms, but it will grow in partial shade as well. It grows best in well-drained and sandy soils, with regular watering, but it will grow in most soils that are not waterlogged. It normally has no pest or disease problems, and it can be trimmed in spring to encourage new growth. In zone 8 and cooler parts of zone 9 it may die back in winter, but it resprouts quickly and still blooms well.
