Jasminum sambac
Arabian Jasmine

Sambac Jasmine (Jasminum sambac), commonly known as Arabian Jasmine or Pichcha, is a highly fragrant flowering shrub treasured for its pure white blooms and rich cultural value.

This evergreen plant grows as a compact shrub or climber, usually reaching 1–2 meters in height. Its leaves are glossy, dark green, and oval-shaped. The flowers are small, white, and star-shaped, often blooming in clusters. What makes sambac jasmine truly special is its intense, sweet fragrance, which is strongest in the evening and early morning.

Sambac jasmine thrives in warm tropical climates like Sri Lanka and prefers full sun to partial shade, well-drained soil, and regular watering. With proper pruning, it flowers throughout the year, especially during warm seasons.

Beyond its beauty, sambac jasmine holds deep cultural and traditional importance. The flowers are widely used for religious offerings, weddings, hair adornment, and to make garlands. They are also used in jasmine tea and traditional remedies. Sambac jasmine symbolizes purity, love, and peace, making it one of the most loved flowering plants in home gardens.
