Q: Would you please help me select the right jasmine? I want to
find a jasmine that smells like lily of the valley or honeysuckle or roses,
not the one that smells like gardenia. I'm in Missouri, zone 6, so I want a
jasmine for my deck for the summer, so I want it to bloom this season.
A: There are 3 major types of tropical flower fragrances - Sweet,
Fresh, and Fruity (including Lemony). Below are the most interesting
fragrant tropical flowers, excluding Gardenias (which are sweet type). These are all
same-year bloomers, so you can enjoy the fragrance this year assuming proper
care and bloom booster feeding.
* - The fastest growers that can be treated as annuals. Others can be
grown in a pot and brought inside for winter, and be enjoyed every year.

☀️ Have you seen a yellow jasmine?
💟 One of the few jasmines with yellow flowers is Jasminum mesnyi, or Japanese Jasmine, also known as Primrose Jasmine.
💟 Rare and beautiful. This unusual jasmine features large, vibrant yellow flowers that stand out beautifully against its dark green foliage.
💟 Fast growing and vigorous. It's a valuable plant in landscaping for its fast growth, dense foliage, and ability to form a lush, bright cover.
💟 Easy to grow. Japanese Jasmine is incredibly versatile - it grows wonderfully in mass plantings, can be pruned to create a small hedge, or allowed to trail over fences and walls.
💟 Trim it more! The more you trim it, the bushier it becomes, forming a dense "cloud" of greenery with cheerful yellow flowers scattered throughout.
💟 Whether you're looking to add color, create a natural screen, or cover up an unsightly area, Japanese Jasmine is a fantastic choice that brings both beauty and utility to any garden!
