Murraya Paniculata Orange Jasmine

Murraya Orange Jasmine is an evergreen rounded shrub with rich green aromatic foliage.

Highly perfumed white flowers in summer. Will grow to 3 meters in height and 2-2.5mt in width.  However, can be successfully pruned as low as 50cm for dense evergreen border hedge. If this is the desired option, make sure to trim lightly and consistently to keep a dense growth habit as the murraya matures.   

Full sun or part shade position. Can be susceptible to frost damage. Murraya benefits from annual mulching and feeding with a complete garden fertiliser.  

Murraya paniculata, also known as Orange Jasmine, is a popular evergreen shrub or small tree that is native to Southeast Asia and Australia. It is a member of the citrus family and is sometimes called the "mock orange" due to its fragrant white flowers that resemble those of the true orange tree.

Murraya paniculata is a versatile plant that can be used in a variety of landscaping settings. It is commonly grown as a hedge or screening plant, but can also be trained as a small tree or grown in a container. The plant prefers well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade. It is relatively tolerant of a wide range of soil types and is moderately drought tolerant once established.

While Murraya paniculata is generally a hardy and low-maintenance plant, it can be susceptible to a few pests and diseases, including scale insects and fungal leaf spot. Pruning can help to maintain a compact shape and encourage bushier growth, and regular fertilization can also promote healthy growth and flowering.

Murraya's prefer a sunny position in well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. To maintain a murraya hedge prune lightly two to three times a year in spring and summer. Give a final prune in autumn after flowering.
