What is your favorite variety of Jasmine Sambac?

💮 What is your favorite variety of Jasmine Sambac?



💮 Jasminum Sambac is hands-down the queen of fragrant flowers. The scent is heavenly - so much so that it's the key to jasmine perfume and the secret behind authentic jasmine tea.

💮 Jasmine sambac comes in all shapes and sizes - from neat little shrubs to big, vigorous bushes and even climbing vines. Every variety shows off a different flower form. It’s happy in sun or shade, perfect for pots, and loved as an indoor plant.

💮 At TopTropicals we love them all, but these three are our favorites:
- Belle of India - with elegant long petals
- Arabian Nights - vigorous yet compact, always covered in blooms
- Little Duke - same big carnation-like flowers as Grand Duke, but in a smaller, tidy package

👉 At Top Tropicals, we grow every known variety of Jasminum sambac in cultivation:



Which one would you choose for your garden?

✔️ Arabian Nights - compact slow growing shrub with small delicate flowers
✔️ Belle of India - compact vine with long elegant petals, shade lover
✔️ Grand Duke of Tuscany - the most popular, vigorous bush with carnation-like flowers
✔️ Grand Duke Supreme - bigger, more vigorous version of Grand Duke with larger flowers
✔️ Gundu Malli - new hybrid between Arabian Nights and Grand Duke
✔️ Little Duke - more compact version of the Grand Duke
✔️ Maid of Orleans - vigorous full sun climber, great for hedges and fences
✔️ Mali Chat - very delicate, rare variety, with miniature 3-tier flowers, not easy to establish, shade lover
✔️ Mysore Mulli - vigorous vining shrub for sunny or semi-shade locations

👉 To get more flowers, just use Sunshine Pikake plant booster and enjoy the perfume all day long!

The sunny show-off hummingbirds love

🌞 The sunny show-off hummingbirds love



🌞 Caesalpinia mexicana - Mexican Bird of Paradise - the sunny show-off you didn't know you needed. Many gardeners have popular and more common common Bird of Paradise Caesalpinia pulcherrima, with red flowers, but this one is rare in gardens.

🌞 While most Bird of Paradise plants rely on looks alone, this one ups the game with fragrant blooms. From spring through summer, it's covered in butter-yellow flowers that stand out against soft, feathery foliage. Hummingbirds love it, and when the blooms fade, it makes woody seed pods that snap open like nature's fireworks.

🌞 It's native to northern Mexico, which means it handles heat, sun, and dry conditions without a fuss. You can grow it as a compact shrub or let it stretch into a small tree. Either way, it’s easygoing, low-maintenance, and beautiful all season.
