Botanical name: Jasminum sambac var. 'Grand Duke Of Tuscany'Family:Oleaceae (Jasmine family)
Butt Mogra, a slow growing Jasmine but grandest of them all. This tall
growing shrub has Gardenia type flowers as large as carnations. Due to certain
phenomena the older plants seem to be even more fascinating in providing
flowers of different shapes and sizes on the same plant at the same time. This
plant loves partial shade and very well drained and moist soil. The flowers do
not seem to drop off and in most cases will dry right on the plant. this is
the plant used to flavor the jasmine tea and making perfumes. Perfect
houseplant, takes both sun or shade, Butt mogra is a beautiful fragrant
everbloomer for your home and garden.
