I am a sprawling or climbing form of the Orange Jasmine (Murraya paniculata), a versatile evergreen plant prized for its powerfully fragrant flowers, ornamental foliage, and use in creating fragrant green walls and natural curtains.

Native to South Asia, Southeast Asia, and Australia. The climbing habit may be a selected cultivar or a trained form of the species, popular in Indian gardens.

Water regularly to keep soil consistently moist, especially during hot, dry periods and when in bloom. Allow the topsoil to dry slightly between waterings. Good drainage is essential.

Prefers full sun to partial shade. Blooms most profusely with at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight. Can tolerate some shade but with reduced flowering.

Thrives in warm, tropical to subtropical climates (18-32°C). Sensitive to severe frost.

Plant in rich, well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral soil. Provide a sturdy trellis, fence, or pergola for support. Can be pruned and trained as a hedge, standard, or climber. Ideal for fragrant borders and pergolas.

Feed every 4-6 weeks during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer. A phosphorous-rich fertilizer can encourage more prolific blooming.

Botanical name: Murraya paniculata (climbing/trained form); Common names: Orange Jasmine, Kamini, Chinese Box, Haarsinghar; Family: Rutaceae.

Generally considered non-toxic to cats and dogs. However, supervision is always recommended with any plant ingestion.

Moderate to High. As a vigorous, leafy evergreen with fragrant flowers, it contributes to a refreshing, oxygen-rich, and pleasantly scented microclimate.

Creates exquisitely fragrant living screens and curtains; flowers are used in garlands and religious ceremonies; attracts pollinators like bees and butterflies; the plant is associated with Lord Shiva in Hinduism; can be used for bonsai.

Can be susceptible to aphids, scale, and whiteflies, especially when stressed. Sooty mold may develop on honeydew from pests. Root rot can occur in waterlogged soil. Requires occasional pruning to maintain shape as a climber.

Long-lived perennial shrub/vine. With care, it can live for decades, climbing or spreading several meters in length/height.
