Jasminum auriculatum (Juhi) is a beautiful flower with extremely heavy gardenia type scent. This species is not very common though it deserves a special attention. A stunning, small scandent bushy plant with simple ovate dark green small leaves and powdery satin white flowers. Posessing a strong gardenia like scent, flowers appear in bunches from summer to fall. Very easy to grow, takes both sun and shade, dry and moist conditions. Highly recommended jasmine for scented garden or as indoor plant.

Their flower is held sacred to all forms of Goddess Devi and is used as sacred offerings during Hindu religious ceremonies.
