Fragrant Plants

Plant ID? Please

11 years ago

Hey all I just bought this Jasmine plant for $20 pretty good size I believe and looks healthy for the time being. Had a few blooms.. have been eyeing it for a few weeks and finally bought it. Any idea what type of Jasmine this is? I don't have any flowers at the moment but hopefully soon.

Ha! That's a loaded question. When it comes to Sambac jasmines I think Mysore Mulli and Belle of India are highly fragrant. Also Grand Duke Supreme or Grand Duke of Tuscany.

If you're talking the jasmine genus then Jasminum polyanthum is highly fragrant but only blooms in late winter/early spring but only when nighttime temps are in the upper 30'-40's.

Anyway try ebay or Pepper's Greenhouses for starter plants. Don't know about where to buy cuttings.

Thank you. You're 100% on this? I just wanted to know because I would like to do some cuttings of them and have a few plants ready.

I'm going with Jasminum sambac as well. Probably the cultivar 'Maid of Orleans'.

Which Jasmine would you guys say is the most fragrant? Also where would I be able to buy some cuttings of different Jasmines?

Most people sell or offer cuttings in the fall when they cut their plants back before bringing them inside for winter. Mine are just now starting to develop buds and finally bloom again.

Your best bet is to buy starter plants at this point but who knows? Maybe someone out there can help you out. :)
