Guide

The species-level account. Cultivar pages build on this and say where they differ.

A vigorous twining climber from the subtropical hills of south-central China and Myanmar, this jasmine wants a support to scramble up and steady, bright light with some direct morning sun to set its flowers. Water when the top inch of mix has dried, keeping it evenly moist in growth but never sodden, as the roots resent sitting wet. Allow slightly drier, cooler conditions through winter to encourage budding.
