Description

Juhi is a beautiful flower with extremely fragrant scent. It is a dense, naturally bushy, fast-growing medium-size shrub that responds well to pruning. If left unpruned, Juhi may shoot long vining branches, but normally the plant doesn't require any support and grows as a multi-stem bush with a strong root system. The plant is relatively cold hardy, like most of the jasmines. It will take at least a few hours of light frost without any damage.

It has simple ovate dark green small leaves and powdery satin white flowers that cover the plant during blooming seasons which may occur in splashes several times a year. The most profuse blooming is during hot summer months. Another splash of flowers may happen in Fall, and even in winter.

Landscape Use

Specimen shrub or climber. Also does well in containers
