Jasminum (Jasmines)
Jasmine’s starry blooms and sweet fragrance make it a magnet for nocturnal pollinators. Its summer flowers provide essential nectar for moths, bats, and night-flying insects, filling a unique ecological niche. Daytime pollinators like bees and butterflies also visit the blooms, while the dense, twining growth offers shelter for nesting birds and small insects. Evergreen varieties extend this habitat value through winter. Perfect for trellises, arbors, or containers, jasmine’s graceful vines add vertical interest without overwhelming a space. By growing it organically, you sustain delicate night-time ecosystems while infusing your garden with intoxicating fragrance and timeless beauty.
