| Description | Orange jessamine, named for its delicate orange blossom perfume, is a shrub or small tree which will reach a height and width of 3.6 Metres. Originating in india and southeast asia, and widely distributed in tropical countries, it has a lush, green, thick foliage of shiny, pinnate, aromatic leaves and masses of scented, waxy, white flowers in spring, summer and autumn, followed by small, bright red fruits. One of the best loved garden shrubs in many countries where it makes an excellent hedge, although clipping will reduce the number of flowers.Orange Jessamine is frost-tender in uae but will recover after a light pruning. Best in light shade, murraya prefers an organically rich, well-drained soil. Regular fertilising and watering is required, although Orange Jessamine will tolerate a dry period.Npk fertilisers are one of the most common. These fertilisers contain the plant macronutrients nitrogen (n), phosphorus (p), and potassium (k).An npk fertiliser usually has these nutrients in a 1:1:1 ratio. You may see some that indicate 10:10:10 or double, which is 20:20:20. Organic fertilisers rich in humus have a more complex mix of macro and micronutrients and minerals.This type of fertiliser ideally contains nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, iron, manganese, molybdenum, zinc, magnesium, copper, and boron. Propagation is by seed and cuttings. Pests are not usually observed. Shrubs will need some pruning to keep them in shape and, if a hedge or formal shape is desired, clipping must be regular, because new growth recurs quickly. M. Paniculata is also very useful as a free growing screen and makes an ornamental accent plant in large containers. |
