Jasmine flowers open at night, releasing a scent that can fill an entire garden. The blooms are usually white or pale yellow and grow in clusters. Native to tropical and warm temperate regions, jasmine requires full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. It climbs easily on trellises or fences, making it a popular choice for covering walls. The essential oil extracted from jasmine is highly valued in perfumery for its romantic and uplifting character. In some cultures, jasmine garlands are used in celebrations or as a natural air freshener. Regular watering and pruning keep the plant healthy and blooming from spring to autumn.
