Growing notes
- Plant against a warm wall, fence, or pergola — fragrance carries on warm summer evenings, peaks at dusk
- Source of jasmine absolute for traditional perfumery — flowers picked just before dawn at peak fragrance
- Hardy enough for southern UK and similar mild temperate climates — deciduous response to cold protects the rootstock
- Vigorous — provide stout support, allow 3–6 m of space
