“I can show you the world, Shining, Shimmering, Splendid” — from Aladdin, the movie.

This precious, fragile jasmine will grant you only ONE magical night, if you ever steal her from her shrub.

Her fragrance — intoxicating; especially at night and has become a conquest to romantic perfumers around the world.

When fresh she is innocent — white, turning pinkish-yellowish brown as she matures gradually, breaking a Sultan’s heart.

Fear not, this Arabian shrub adores a full sun to flower. If indoors, she craves bright lights. She blooms in cymes/clusters; best in wet loose soil and warm weather. Loves to wander beyond her palace shrub, spreading rapidly if not watched by guards.

Also popular as the ‘Grand Duke of Tuscany’ cultivar.
