Grand Duke of Tuscany
Jasminum sambac 'Grand Duke of Tuscany'
The most popular Jasminum sambac cultivar, prized for double to fully double, gardenia-like blooms with tightly layered petals and one of the most aromatic fragrances among sambac jasmines. Deep green ruffled foliage on rigidly erect canes. Everblooming in warm, humid conditions with bright light; more shade-tolerant than most jasmines but frost-sensitive, requiring freeze protection. Benefits from regular trimming to prevent legginess. Excellent for containers and indoor culture. Fragrance: Strong, rich and sweet.
