Description

Murraya paniculata, commonly known as Orange Jessamine is an attractive, medium-sized shrub grown for its foliage and flowers. Closely related to Citrus. It grows compactly and bears aromatic, glossy, dark green leaves. The heavenly scented clusters of small, white flowers – reminiscent of gardenia and orange blossom, appear during summer as it grows to 2.5 m tall and the same wide. The flowers are followed by lovely red berries.
Murraya paniculata is commonly grown as a fragrant hedge or included in a mixed planting, grown as a specimen, planted around outdoor living areas, included in a tropical garden, or planted so its beauty and fragrance can be enjoyed.

Likes a sunny spot with hummus rich soil and protection from frost.

Responds well to trimming after flowering.
