Cultural
information: These plants are closely related to the
Jasmine family. When mature, "Orange Jessamine" will
produce clusters of very fragrant white flowers.
Place your "Orange Jessamine" in an area that
receives strong filtered sun light. Water when the surface of the
soil is dry. Don't allow the soil ball dry out completely... this
is very damaging to the plant. Feed monthly with a balanced liquid
fertilizer. Propagation is difficult.
We have only seen "Orange Jessamine" available as
small 3" and 4" starter plants.
