Jasminum sambac (Arabian Jasmine)

Arabian Jasmine is a tropical evergreen vine best known as the source of jasmine tea and traditional jasmine leis, prized across South and Southeast Asia for its intensely sweet fragrance. Small, waxy white flowers appear in clusters and open over multiple days, with individual buds continuously replacing spent blooms throughout the warm months. As a houseplant in the Pacific Northwest, it thrives in the sunniest window available or on a bright covered porch during summer.

Plants grow as compact, sprawling shrubs to vines, typically reaching 3 to 6 feet in containers with support. They are hardy outdoors only in zones 9 to 11, so treat this as a tender houseplant in Langlois. Provide a small trellis or let it trail from a hanging basket. Keep the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged.

Arabian Jasmine is non-toxic to dogs, cats, and horses according to the ASPCA, making it a pet-safe choice for fragrant indoor greenery.
