description_en: Genus of 200 or more species of deciduous and evergreen shrubs and climbers from woodland, scrub, and rocky places in tropical and temperate regions, mainly in Europe, Asia, and Africa. They are cultivated for their terminal or axillary, sometimes umbel-or panicle-like cymes of salverform, often fragrant flowers with broad or narrow, star-shaped segments, and for their opposite or alternate, simple to pinnate leaves (in some species reduced to only one leaflet). Most species have black berries. Climbing jasmines will twine over any suitable support, such as a trellis, fence, arch, or large shrub. Scandent, shrubby jasmines may be trained against a wall, and dwarf species are suitable for a rock garden. In cool areas, grow jasmines in a sheltered position; grow half-hardy species as houseplants in a conservatory or cool greenhouse, and tender species in a warm or temperate greenhouse.
