Commonly known as Orange Jessamine, Murraya paniculata is a tropical, evergreen large shrub. This variety is closely related to citrus hence why their creamy white flowers smell just like orange blossom. These flowers appear in abundance in spring then again in late summer or early autumn. Murraya paniculata has a dense, twiggy habit making it excellent for privacy screening or hedging. It can also be used in containers or pots. Plant Murraya paniculata in a sunny area with well drained soil rich in organic matter. It is also well suited for warm-climate gardens. Murraya paniculata is relatively low maintenance. Prune lightly two to three times a year in spring or summer to maintain dense foliage growth. Water well until established and protect from frosts. Murraya paniculata can grow to a height and width of 3 metres.
