Fill your garden with the beautiful fragrance of Murraya paniculata, commonly known as Orange Jessamine. This evergreen shrub is loved for its glossy green foliage and masses of delicate white flowers, which release an incredibly sweet, citrus-like perfume that fills the garden—especially in the evening and after rain.
