Arabian Jasmine Care: 3 Practical Tips For Dark Green Foliage And Fragrant Flowers

The Arabian jasmine is also known as Jasmine Sambac and Hawaiian Pikake.  The jasmine has dark green leaves and fragrant white flowers that waft the air with a tropical scent. It has the characteristics of both a bushy vine and vertical shrub. The Arabian Jasmine is classified as a perennial, and will bloom all summer in tropical climates. Here are 3 tips to keep in mind when growing this lovely plant.

Tip # 1 Soil Needs:

Arabian Jasmine will grow best with a high amount of organic matter.  Worm castings, peat moss, leaves, grass and other organic material are all good additions to the garden area. Good drainage is important for the plant roots and overall health.  Soggy soil can trigger root rot and other fungus disease.

Tip # 2 – Climate needs:

The Sambac Jasmine is a tropical plant that grows best in hot and humid climates. Grow the plant in full or partial sun for best results.  They can tolerate shady conditions, but its true potential will not be reached. USDA Zone eight or higher is best. A freeze can severely harm or kill the plant, but they can regrow after such stress

Tip # 3 – Feeding Needs:

Spring through fall is the best time to fertilize. But you don’t want to overdo it and harm the plant. Use a balanced, slow release fertilizer or ask your local gardening center for a recommended brand. As it is with many plants, the cooler the weather the less fertilizer needs to be applied.

This jasmine variety is easy to grow. Gardener in the Northern United States have grown the plant successful indoors.  In a Southern state like Florida, the Arabian Jasmine grows at a rapid rate outside.
