Also known as: Arabian Jasmine, Pikake, Sampaguita

Native to Southeast Asia, Jasmine Sambac is considered one of the most prized fragrant plants in the world. It's the national flower of the Philippines and one of three national flowers of Indonesia, and in Hawaii its blossoms are woven into traditional leis. Its small white flowers open in the evening, releasing their intense fragrance for hours before closing again in the morning — a nightly performance that has made it a beloved garden favorite for centuries.
