Crape Jasmine Tabernaemontana divaricata 5 Seeds USA Company

Tabernaemontana divaricata, commonly known as crepe jasmine or pinwheel flower, is a beautiful evergreen shrub that typically grows to a height of 1 to 2 meters (3 to 6 feet) and spreads to a similar width. Its glossy, deep green leaves are arranged oppositely along the stems and are elliptical or ovate in shape, with prominent veins.

The most striking feature of Tabernaemontana divaricata is its fragrant flowers, which are white and pinwheel-shaped, with five slender, pointed petals radiating outward from a yellow center. The flowers typically measure about 5 centimeters (2 inches) in diameter and bloom in clusters at the ends of branches. They often appear throughout the year, but are most abundant during the warmer months.

The fragrance of the flowers is sweet and jasmine-like, particularly noticeable in the evening, attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies. After the flowers fade, small, round, green fruits may develop, containing numerous seeds.

Tabernaemontana divaricata is widely cultivated as an ornamental plant in tropical and subtropical regions for its attractive foliage and flowers. It thrives in well-draining soil and prefers full to partial sunlight. With proper care and pruning, it can be trained into a compact shrub or grown as a small tree.
