Murraya Paniculata seed

LATIN NAME: MURRAYA PANICULATA

COMMON NAME: Orange Jasmine

The orange jasmine drifts the small, white, starry flowers through the warm months, the glossy, pinnate leaves holding the dense green, and the whole plant carrying the sweet, citrus-scented look of the orange family. The flowers open in the small clusters, each with the strong, heady, jasmine-like scent, and the small, red-orange berries follow. The bush keeps the neat, rounded habit, and it takes the clipping well for the hedge or the topiary. It likes the sun or the part shade, and the deep, rich, well-drained soil.

Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology

In the rue family, the orange jasmine holds a long, perfumed record in the aromatic-plant research, and the jasmine-like scent has kept the perfumers busy for the ages. The studies cover the flower chemistry and the seed biology, along with the way the bush is grown for the hedges and the topiary, while the horticulturists value the dense, clipping-tolerant habit. The growers of the scented, warm-climate shrubs keep the species in their catalogues.

Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications

In the warm garden, the orange jasmine perfumes the evening walk. The starry white flowers carry the heady, jasmine-like scent through the warm months, the berries feed the birds, and the glossy foliage keeps the neat, evergreen shape. It makes the fragrant hedge, the clipped topiary or the potted specimen on the terrace. Scented, generous and easy to shape.

The orange jasmine seeds germinate in a sandy, gritty loam kept warm and moist. The seedlings appear within a few weeks, and they grow on steadily with the glossy, pinnate leaves. Keep them in the warm, sheltered spot, and give them the sun and the deep, rich, well-drained ground. They take the clipping well once established, and the first scented flowers come within the few years.

To grow the orange jasmine from seed, sow the small, orange seeds thinly into the shallow flat of sandy, gritty loam, then cover them lightly, keep the flat in the warm, bright spot and water gently. The seedlings show themselves within a few weeks, and they grow on steadily. Plant the young shrubs in the sunny, rich ground, and the starry flowers will drift the scent through the warm months.
