Description
The Jasminum laurifolium var. nitidum is a rare jasmine in cultivation, more suited to container gardening than being planted in the ground due to its tender nature. It is a more or less climbing plant, with a prolonged and delicate flowering period, both in terms of the refined shape of its large flowers and their subtle fragrance. They open in the evening and at night, from delicate violet buds, against a backdrop of beautiful dark green foliage. Place it in a lovely pot, and it will perfume an entire area of the garden, balcony, or terrace on summer evenings.
Jasminum nitidum belongs to the Oleaceae family. This botanical species is sometimes called 'Angelwing jasmine' by English speakers, due to the very distinctive shape of its flowers, royal jasmine, or even shining jasmine. It is native to the Himalayas and Southeast Asia, where it is found in forests, thickets, scrub vegetation, and garrigues. Not very hardy, this jasmine perishes below -3°C (26.6°F). In its natural environment, it is a vigorous plant that can reach 6 meters (20 feet) in length. In tropical gardens, it is often pruned into a bush.
This sarmentous bush will remain relatively small in a pot, not exceeding 2.50 to 3 meters (8 to 10 feet) in height and can be maintained as a bush through regular pruning. Its growth rate is moderate. The flowering period is long, lasting at least three months, from June to September. The plant produces numerous clusters of flowers, approximately 5 cm (2in) in diameter. Each flower is composed of a tube that opens into 9 very narrow lobes, giving them the appearance of a spider. Their fragrance is both powerful and subtle, and they open in the evening and at night. The vegetation of this jasmine consists of long, flexible, and supple stems that weave their way through the branches of neighboring plants. They are not climbing and do not have any attachment system. The foliage is more or less evergreen, composed of leathery, elliptical leaves with undulate margins, 5 cm (2in) long, arranged oppositely on the stems. They are shiny dark green. The stems become woody and light brown with age, devoid of leaves. The fruit is a round, black berry, 6 mm (0in) in diameter when ripe.
In all regions, place this royal jasmine in a container on a terrace, so that it can be stored indoors during winter, and to fully enjoy its wonderful fragrance. However, avoid placing it near a bedroom with an open window; some claim that its fragrance disrupts sleep and can cause headaches. It can, for example, be paired with another climbing plant with a different or simultaneous flowering period, such as the Clematis 'Dancing Queen', the Sollya heterophylla, or even the Passiflora 'Essenza', for example.

Planting and care
In our milder regions (orange tree zone), Jasminum nitidum can potentially be planted in open ground, preferably in spring, with winter protection as soon as frost is announced: it perishes below -3°C (26.6°F). It can be planted in pots all year round, in all our regions. Plant it in good horticultural compost, kept moist. It will thrive in a sunny position, or even in partial shade in hot climates. Pruning of the oldest stems (brown) is necessary at the end of winter, when vegetation starts.
For pot cultivation: choose a container of 50 cm (20in), in good, rich, moist and light compost, specifically for Mediterranean plants. From early spring until mid-September, enrich with liquid fertilizer every 15 days, always on moist compost. In summer, it needs abundant watering, but in winter let the compost dry out slightly between waterings. Jasmine is very vigorous even in pots and may become sparse at the base. In this case, prune the old branches to leave only 3 young shoots. In winter, place it in a conservatory or a temperate greenhouse, around 16°C (60.8°F), with plenty of light. Regularly spray the foliage with non-calcareous water, this will prevent attacks from red spiders.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
