Jasminum azoricum
Comments (18)Thanks, Dar. I was wondering if J. grandiflorum would have the musky undertones like J. officinale. It was hard deciding on which jasmine to choose. I really like the large petals of the single J. grandiflorum that Logee's offers however the glowing review from a customer on their site about 'Flora Plena' swayed me. Now that I know it smells similar to gardenias I'm glad I chose this one! And forget J. odoratissimum, Kem! You'd probably end up with some lightly scented clone (though the fruity scent description on TT sounds right up your alley!). What about Jasminum simplicifolium subsp. australiense (Syn.: Jasminum volubile, wax jasmine)? Kartuz's site says it has a wonderful strong scent. Anyone ever grow/sniff this one? It's on my list! :) -Robert...See MoreJasminum Tortuosum ID
Comments (4)I recognize this jasmine, from growing up in India. It is one of my favorites- sweet smelling, bountiful vine that climbed up rooftops! I knew it as "Jaji" or "Chameli". I believe is is Jasminum officinale var. grandiflorum. Hope this helps. mrao77...See MoreAnything special to overwinter a jasminum officinale?
Comments (4)The rule of thumb for plants in containers is they need to be 2 zones hardier than the local climate zone, because plants in pots aren't insulated as well. Unfortunately, even hardy jasmine isn't zone 5 hardy, so you're pushing it. Welcome to the wonderful world of zone denial! Like bboy said, you'll have to put the pot in a protected area, like right next to a south-facing wall, and wrap the pot in an old blanket or bubble wrap or build a chicken-wire cage around it and stuff the space in between with leaves or other mulch. Even then, it's a bit risky. Another option would be to leave it out as late as possible until hard freezes become regular, than bring it inside for the rest of the winter, and then carefully put it out again, starting just during sunny days, when temps warm up to the 30s in spring. No matter what, it's a hassle and there are no guarantees, but hey, a jasmine's worth it! Jim...See MoreDo all J. officinale/grandiflora smell the same?
Comments (4)Ha! I've never heard of plants playing tricks on us. ;) I'm still on the fence with Jasminum azoricum. During the summer the fragrance didn't wow me but now that I've shoved it down in the basement under the lights the scent has intensified and I'm able to wow guests by plucking a few blooms for them to smell. Have you tried Jasminum molle? It might be too strong for you (a friend thought it smelled too 'old lady') but I love the scent...sorta musky gardenia? -Robert...See More- 15 years ago
