Arabian Jasmine
Binomial name
Jasminum sambac
Light requirements
This fragrant beauty thrives in full sun to partial shade. If you’re aiming for abundant blooms, plenty of bright light is key, but a little afternoon shade won’t hurt in hot climates.
Soil preferences, including pH and drainage
Jasminum sambac loves well-draining soil with a rich, loamy texture. Slightly acidic to neutral soil, with a pH of 6.0–7.5, keeps it blooming happily. Adding organic matter like compost can give it an extra boost.
Water needs
This jasmine prefers consistently moist soil, especially during its growing and blooming season. Water when the top inch feels dry, but avoid letting it sit in soggy soil—it’s a fan of balance!
