Jasmine

Is there anyone growing scented white jasmine outside.
Same as you can buy as a houseplant.

My friend has one growing round an arch and the perfume is wonderful.

 

Hi scotkat, I have scented white jasmine growing on my balcony has been for 3 years and it is growing very well, sorry i cant provide a pic at the moment. The leaves on mine are darker green to shineys.
When i go out on the balcony the smell is lovely i almost think it is perfume then i realize it is the jasmine.

 

Just whizzing by: the outdoor ones are j.officinale, flower in mid-late summer, and have reddish young growth. The florist shop jasmines are j.polyanthum, look pretty much identical but flower in late spring, and are not as hardy. Both make excellent climbers in London area, so worth a stab.

 

Morning jazid, cant remember what mine is called, it has dark green leaves and has been flowering this past 2 weeks, They when established are quick growers as mine is all over now.
good luck and enjoy let us know how you get on

 

That's an unusual Jasmine, Shiney ... I've not seen variagated before, very attractive! I have the pink budded one in two places but it's so straggly even though I cut it back. I much prefer my yellow flowered one wih dark leaves but can't remember what that's called! :rolleyes: :confused:

 

I have 4 the dark greens with white flowers,pink flowers and the yellow must be the same as yours cant remember off-hand what it is called.

 

It could be J fruticans or J odoratissimum but I think those two are scented and mine isn't ... not that I've noticed anyway! Do you know, Jazid?

 

mine is scented lol so it will be one of those as above.

 

This is Jasminium officinale Fiona Sunrise. Someplants of it are better variegated than others, it depends on where the cuttings are taken. It does not flower as well as the plain J. officinale.

 

I have the winter jasmin(yellowflower) and the pink jasmin flowers in the spring.

 

mine must be the plain j. officinale the white flowered one as it produces lots of growth and plenty of flowers and the smell is strong but lovely when you go out.

 

Rosa, it sounds like J.officinalis to me, possibly 'affine' which has pink tinged flowers (and pinkish buds - but they all do IMHO). Both that and polyanthum are heavily fragrant. If the flowers are light pink it could be J.x stephanense.

LoL it sounds like it could be officinale, polyanthum, or odoratissimum to me; fruticans is yellow flowered and unscented so is unlikely that. Odoratissimum is barely hardy in the UK and I have seen only pictures but apparently it has flowers to 4cm across rather than the 2-2.5cm for officinalis (and slightly smaller but more clustered for polyanthum), and always looks a bit straggly.

I love jasmines, but for town use I generally prefer Trachelospermum jasminoides/asiaticum as they are evergreen and have 'better manners' as they say. They both are equally and similarly fragrant to jasmine

 

Evening, Jazid! I did say my yellow one is unscented, hence me saying it's perhaps fruticans which is very popular here although my cuttings came from Turkey! They have single/double flowers that are yellow often with tinges of white and dark green evergreen leaves.

 

But no one ever mentions J. parkeri. This has yellow flowers BUT it only grows to about 12 inches tall!
