Night Blooming Jasmine...?
Question:My mother loves night blooming jasmine. So on Mothers Day, I went looking for one to plant under her bedroom window. I was told that all jasmine plants bloom at night and all give off that wonderful fragrance. BUT...the one I bought has begun to bloom and the blooms dont look look the same and you can't smell it at night - the fragrance isn't as strong as the plant we had when I was younger. Any thoughts? Suggestions?
Answers:
The Star Jasmine is definitely what you need. It is Very fragrant and is in full bloom now here in CA. Good luck.
YOU... got Taken..!
It is the WRONG.. PLANT!
Go back to where you... bought it. and Speak with the MANAGER....ONLY!
Thanks, RR
Angel Wing Jasmine may suffice but perhaps only as a house plant. It has a very sweet smell, and is high maintenance, not sure where you live and whether the plant can handle the climate, but check into it.
I know the plants your Mom Loves. There are hundreds of different kinds of Jasmine. Maybe the person made a mistake when selling you the plant. I've been lucky to enjoy the ones planted under my bedroom window,by my Mom in the late 70's. (God,I still live at home?) We Bought Moms house. I've never seen seeds on them until this year.I think because this is the first year it froze since she planted them. I have a bag full of seeds, your welcome to have them. Bye
What you are looking for is Star Jasmine. It blooms all day and night. Gives off a wonderful aroma and on warm evenings it is even nicer. By the way, it loves sun and is evergreen. I'm in N. Calif. and mine is in full bloom right now.
Try night blooming Honeysuckle. It's smell is so beautiful and intense. The actual name of the plant is Lonicera periclymenum (L.)) The one in my garden has deep purple vine shoots with lovely contrasting leaves. When it blooms it has creamy white and fuscia flowers which smell like perfume.
It's Star Jasmine.
I have one & have had it for years. We all wait for it to bloom & give off its wonderful scent at night.
Make sure your next purchase is the one you want. How annoying for you.
