Few basic information to start with
Jasmine loves the moist soil; that's the reason it grows in the tropical and subtropical zone. It can be divided into two types like deciduous (whose leaves start falling in the autumn) and evergreen (green throughout the year). If the conditions are favourable, like the full sun and warm atmosphere, this plant can live for 15 to 20 years in the wild. The height of the shrubs can reach up to 10 to 15 feet. The little white flowers are so gorgeous and sweet-smelling that they can instantly fill the heart with happiness and positivity.
Both reproductive organs are found in jasmine.
Both male and female reproductive organs are found in a single flower. A bit hard to believe, right? But this is the case with jasmine. However, stamens and pistils don't get mature at the same time as the flowers are unable to perform self-pollination. In this process of pollination, butterflies and bees act as the main pollinators of jasmine.
