Jasminum grandiflorum

Royal jasmine/Spanish jasmine

Climbing plant with long shoots and few points of attachment. The green leaves are even-pinnate and produce terminal racemose inflorescences. The flowers are white and star-shaped with a long stalk.

Its fresh, strongly scented flowers can be used for flavouring tea. As soon as they are dried, however, they lose both colour and flavour. In Ayurvedic medicine they are considered to be a fever-reducing remedy for infectious diseases.

We enjoy the fragrance given off by the jasmine flowers at the Tropenhaus and use them as a decorative addition in our tea corner.
