Description

Tabernaemontana divaricata ‘Flore Pleno’ also known as Crape Jasmine is a beautifully shaped evergreen shrub that forms symmetrical 6 foot high mounds. Its glossy 6 by 2-inch leaves are elliptic and wavy margined, colored mid-to dark green above and pale green beneath. Its many-branched foliage tends to grow almost parallel to the ground, giving the shrub an attractive horizontal aspect. This Crape Jasmine cultivar has beautiful double flowers, with a strong fragrance. Somewhat drought- and heat-tolerant, this Jasmine is grown for its ornamental features and grows very well in containers.
