Jasmine Sambac "Grand Duke of Tuscany " Young Plant
This Jasmine produces the largest flowers; Up to 1.5" double flowers look like miniature roses. This tall growing shrub has Gardenia type flowers. The older plants seem to be more fascinating in providing flowers of different shapes and sizes on the same plant at the same time. A flower stays for a long time (few days) and doesn't drop off and in most cases will dry right on the plant. Same sweet fragrance of Maid of Orleans but stronger; This bushy compact plant needs a little more special attention than other Jasmines. Flower is used for tea and religious ceremonies. Requires frequent pruning for denser shape, otherwise becomes leggy. Ever bloomer! We collect the flowers for our morning and evening jasmine tea! The plant may be trimmed to fit packing box.
