nyctanthes arbor-tristis night jasmine
Comments (37)Folks, I own Vedic Gardens, a Desi Garden business selling huge collection of South-Asian Plants in NC for past 20 years or so. Coral Jasmine, aka Parijata, Parijatham and few other names are of a plant called Nyctanthes arbor-tristis as we all know! We sell several plants every year to our customers all over USA wherever permitted by USDA regulations. This plant is one of the most difficult plant to grow whether to grow indoors in container or outdoors in grounds. It needs very special care. Remember 3 things when tending to Parijat plant during colder season. # 1 High heat! please try to keep temperatures around the plant to over 40 Degrees F. # 2 High Humidity ( In air only!! Do not go crazy on over watering the soil! It won't help) # 3 High Light! Due to fewer hours of sunlight in winter season, compensate light requirements by adding extra light source. Growing Parijat from seeds has been a big challenge for us as any seeds over 30 days old are not viable, and we cannot tell by the looks of the seeds if it is viable or not. Buying seeds online is easy, but trusting the source to sell fresh seeds is very difficult. We have to take a chance. When ordering any plants or seeds from other countries and other US states, please respect USDA regulations as alien plants or seeds can sometimes cause irreversible damage to many plants in the area! Good luck and Happy gardening. Anil Gandhi at vedicgardens.com...See Morejasmine sambac stem clipping propagation
Comments (5)Hello everyone, Whenever i have any doubts/problems while growing jasmines I come here. Reading your posts helps me to solve my problem. Thanks to everyone here. In February one of my friend gave me two stem clipping, which i think is Arabian jasmine. She also gave me a picture of that flower which I have posted below. I potted both stem clippings in a normal potting soil and covered it with a ziplock as Kandhi has done. I saw new growth in them within 2 weeks of planting. In mid March I removed the ziplock and kept it in a place where it gets bright southern light. Yesterday i noticed some of my new baby leaves are getting burnt/dried...you can see that in the picture. Please help me with suggesting the amount of light this plant needs?, how to overcome its leaves getting burnt?, and when to re-pot this plant?(its in a 4 inch container)...this is the first time im stem clipping propagation. Thanks...See MoreName of night blooming jasmine scented flower
Comments (11)Unfortunately I don't have any pictures (that I know of, maybe its in the background somewhere!) The blooms, if I remember correctly, are maybe an inch or 2 in diameter and the the petals are sort of all one level if you know what I mean - it's not bunch like a rose. The big seed is in the middle of the bloom. I live in NJ and it did wonderfully on my porch all summer a few years ago. Then I found the same plant in Pennsylvania and took some seeds from that. I haven't tried sprouting them yet though. I'm not sure how long seeds will last for if not saved properly. Thanks for your response!...See MoreHardy Jasmine? Sweet Autumn Clematis?
Comments (9)There are many varieties of Jasminum officinale, and two (at least) may be hardier than average. The clone that Woodlander's (in Aiken, S.C.) sells returned from the roots after -14F in my parent's garden in Spokane, WA.' 1990. That same clone returned from the roots after -9F years later in my own garden, also in Spokane. This clone tends to have one heavy June-July bloom and rarely anything after, and doesn't show the pink tinges in the buds that some of the others do. but the fragrance is strong! I haven't tried the one that Logee's (in CT) sells, but their picture of it looks like the Woodlander's clone. I have had less success (in the ground) with varieties from other sources, though they grow well in pots, overwintered in the garage. Clematis 'Sweet Summer Love' is a beautifully fragrant variety that supposedly is a hybrid between the sweet autumn clematis and Clematis viticella. To my nose, the fragrance is more like Clematis flammula, as is the foliage, and since both SSL and flammula start blooming in July, I have to wonder if the autumn one is really the parent!...See Moretinylady
