JASMINE

Jasmine (Jasminum spp.) is a beloved flowering plant admired for its elegant, star-shaped blossoms and rich, intoxicating fragrance. Native to tropical and warm temperate regions, jasmine comes in many varieties, including Jasminum sambac (Motia or Arabian Jasmine) and Jasminum officinale (Common Jasmine).

Its flowers bloom in white, yellow, or light pink, often in clusters, and are especially fragrant at night. The plant is highly versatile — it can be grown as a climber, shrub, or potted plant, and is perfect for trellises, fences, patios, and garden beds.

Beyond its ornamental beauty, jasmine is widely used in perfumes and essential oils, herbal teas and natural remedies, religious and cultural rituals, and traditional medicine for calming the mind and improving skin health.
