Notes
Orange jessamine (Murraya paniculata) is a shrub for containers, hedges, and low maintenance gardens. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 9 and warmer, down to about 20°F (-7°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, loamy soil. It is evergreen and has fragrant flowers. It can reach about 8 to 12 feet tall and wide, so give it room.
Pairs well with Boxwood, Orange daylily, and Sedge.
