Sampaguita Jasmine



Sampaguita Jasmine


  • Sampaguita jasmine (Arabian Jasmine) is the national flower of the Philippines, found throughout the island nation. It is a vining plant with ovate evergreen leaves, growing to 9 feet tall. It blooms throughout the year in the Philippines, producing large clusters of sweetly fragrant, snow-white flowers that fade to pink as they age. The flowers are waxy with eight petals arranged in a star-like pattern. In wild plants, decorative black-purple berries emerge post flowering, but these seldom appear on plants under cultivation.
