Arabian Jasmine is a legendary evergreen shrub or vine, revered for its intensely fragrant, pure white flowers that are central to cultural traditions and perfumery. Its small, single or double blooms open at night, releasing an intoxicating, sweet scent that is most potent in the evening and early morning. While it can be trained as a climber, it is often grown as a dense, rounded shrub in gardens. In Zone 9a, it may suffer frost damage and become semi-deciduous during cold snaps, requiring protection.

Intensely Fragrant Night Blooms: The small, waxy white flowers are famous for their powerful, sweet perfume, strongest after dusk.
Cultural & Culinary Significance: The flowers are used to make jasmine tea, garlands ('Mogra'), and are a primary source of jasmine absolute in perfumery.
Versatile Growth Habit: Can be maintained as a compact shrub or trained to climb on a trellis or fence.
Tender in Cool Climates: In Zone 9a, it is borderline hardy. It thrives in warm, sheltered spots but may lose leaves or suffer dieback in a frost. Ideal for containers that can be moved.
Requires Warmth & Sun: Needs a warm, sunny location and well-drained soil to perform its best.

Knowing how we measure the size?

When browsing our plants, you may notice size terms such as Gallon, Multi, or Stand. These describe how a plant is grown, containerized, or structured at the time of sale — not just its height. Understanding these terms will help you choose the right plant for your space and expectations.

🌱 Gallon Size (Container Size)

Gallon refers to the size of the nursery container the plant is currently growing in (e.g. 1 Gallon, 5 Gallon, 15 Gallon).

A larger gallon size generally means:
- A more established root system
- A sturdier plant
- Faster visual impact after planting
Example:
- 5 Gallon: Ideal for residential gardens, easy to handle, good balance of value and maturity
- 15 Gallon: More mature, provides quicker results in the landscape

Note: Gallon size does not guarantee a specific height, as growth varies by species.

🌳 Multi (Multi-Trunk / Multi-Branch Form)

Multi indicates the plant has multiple trunks or main stems growing from the base.

Commonly used for:
- Ornamental trees
- Feature plants
- Japanese maples, olives, crepe myrtles, etc.
Why choose Multi:
- Fuller, more sculptural appearance
- Strong visual presence even at younger ages
- Popular for design-focused landscapes

🌲 Stand (Single-Trunk / Standard Form)

Stand (short for Standard) refers to a single, dominant trunk with a raised or naturally formed canopy.

Commonly used for:
- Shade trees
- Street trees
- Orchard and structural plantings
Why choose Stand:
- Clean, classic tree form
- Easier clearance for walkways and lawns
- Preferred for long-term structure and uniformity

🌿 Choosing the Right Size

If you want instant impact → larger Gallon, Multi form
If you want long-term structure → Stand form
If you want flexibility and value → mid-size Gallon containers

Q: Can I grow it in a pot in Zone 9a?
A: Yes, container culture is highly recommended. This allows you to move it to a protected location (like a garage or against a warm wall) during freezing weather. Use a well-draining potting mix and a sturdy trellis if desired.

Q: When does it bloom?
A: It blooms in flushes throughout the warm months, primarily from late spring through fall, with peak flowering often in summer. Blooms are triggered by warm temperatures.
