This everblooming Jasmine has a bushy growth habit and does particularly well on windowsills. The fragrance of the white flowers clears the air and adds a touch of peaceful tranquility. Place 'Maid of Orleans' on the sill, sit in a nearby chair and breathe in its delightful scent. In Asia, jasmines are used in teas and religious observances. Also known as Arabian Tea Jasmine, it is the national flower of the Philippines, where it is known as Sampaguita.

• Use clay pots to maintain healthy roots.
• Bring soil to visual dryness between waterings.
• Occasionally bring to a slight wilt between waterings.
• Moderate amounts of fertilizer, not heavy feeders.
• Stop feeding in winter.
• All respond well to pruning; best not to prune in winter when growth is slow.
