Stephanotis floribunda (Madagascar jasmine, waxflower, Hawaiian wedding flower, bridal wreath) is a species
of flowering plant , native to Madagascar. Growing to 6 m (20 ft) or
more, it is an evergreen woody climber with glossy, leathery oval leaves
and clusters of pure white, waxy, intensely fragrant tubular flowers
and highly scented, about 3 cm long, in clusters and are produced in summer.
This vine flowers only on new growth, and thus pruning should be kept
to a minimum, especially during the growth season. Flowers fade to
yellow after several days and the deep, rich fragrance turns sour in
smell. The blooms are a favorite in weddings, used in bridal bouquets,
corsages and decorations. Normally the plant has to be a little old and
root bound to start flowering. Once it does, the result is very
rewarding. The flowers are long-lasting and sweetly scented. Attract Butterflies & Hummingbirds!!!!
