Chrysojasminum floridum, commonly known as Flowering Jasmine, is a semi-evergreen shrub native to open woodlands and forest edges in Central and Eastern China. It typically grows to a height of 3-5 feet (0.9-1.5 meters) and a width of 3-4 feet (0.9-1.2 meters). The plant features glossy green leaves and clusters of fragrant, bright yellow flowers that bloom in late spring to early summer, adding a splash of color and pleasant aroma to the garden. The flowers are moderately showy and can attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies.

Flowering Jasmine is valued for its ease of maintenance, fragrant flowers, and ability to thrive in a range of light conditions. It is commonly used in border planting, as a fragrant addition to gardens, and can be trained as an informal hedge. This shrub prefers well-drained soils and can tolerate both full sun and part shade, making it versatile for various garden settings. While it can survive on medium to low water once established, regular watering during dry periods will keep it flourishing. It is not known for any significant disease problems, but it can be susceptible to common pests like aphids and scale insects. Pruning after flowering helps maintain its shape and encourages more blooms for the following season.CC BY-SA 4.0
