Fragrant Jasmine plant care

The best part of summer garden is wafting fragrance of summer flower Jasmine in my garden.Jasmine flower is best for those areas where temperatures in summer can cross  over 40 'c since it is an hardy annual of summer garden which can withstand scorching heatwaves prevalent in the summer.

While there are many varieties of Jasmine these varieties can survive scorching heat and even temperatures above 40' c and still give continuous flowering.

Jasminun Auriculatum  AKA Juhi flower 

Crape Jasmine 

Crape Jasmine 'Flore peno'

While other varieties of jasmine which are also fragrant infact more fragrant than the above mentioned varieties like Night blooming and day blooming jasmine ,Yellow jasmine,Orange Cestrum and Gardenia are also good for growing in summer but they are not as hardy as the above mentioned Jasmine varieties.                                                                                                                                    

Jasmine plants are usually rough and tough plants that can withstand long drought conditions but like to be fertilized with organic manure occasionally that promotes maximum flower growth on the plants .
