My mother's favourite plant, this night blooming #jasmine makes its way to the window of my parents room when in bloom. They do very well as cut flowers too, especially in a room with an air conditioner or cool circulating air of any kind. The #scent is very potent and carries a few feet #fragrant #nightbloomingjasmine #perennial #cutflowers

You can almost smell the fragrance
I woke up at 3am yesterday morning to the fragrance of this plant. Someone in my neighbourhood must have one. Such a strong fragrance. 💕
Very potent, @sue1953 I usually keep a single stalk by my bedside. It's enough to freshen a room :)
I want one of these, love the smell of jasmine. Been looking for winter jasmine, my hubby is a window cleaner so has been told to look out for it and ask for cuttings in the spring and hopefully will have some for next winter.@pushkraj
Good luck with your search :) I think crocus.co.uk sells winter jasmine, but I get it if you want to grow them from cuttings for the sheer joy of observing them grow @phyl1978
If I manage to get a hanful of cuttings I should be able to cover most of the ugly fence along front path and be able to enjoy some colour looking out front window in winter.
