Murraya exotica, commonly known as Orange Jasmine, is an evergreen shrub cherished for its dense, glossy foliage and highly fragrant white flowers that bloom mainly in spring and summer. Its small, star-shaped flowers resemble orange blossoms and emit a sweet, citrus-like scent, making it perfect for sensory gardens, patios, and courtyards.
This versatile shrub thrives in South African coastal and temperate gardens, and its compact, bushy growth habit makes it ideal for hedges, borders, and container planting. The plant is also attractive to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, adding life to your garden.
