Stephanotis floribunda

Madagascar jasmine

Also known as: Madagascar jasmine

Stephanotis floribunda. Available size and form may vary.

Glossy evergreen leaves frame clusters of fragrant white, waxy flowers. Madagascar jasmine is a twining container vine rather than a hardy garden jasmine. A bright sheltered position and a support make it an attractive indoor or summer-patio specimen.
