Small jasmine plants are widely available in nurseries, so you can plan your garden to benefit from maximum scent. Try under or beside a window, where the scent can waft in, or around a seat in the garden, or up a pergola or orchard tree.

Alternatively, jasmines make ideal houseplants, for their scent can fill a room. Try other jasmines with yellow flowers, or variegated leaves in a darker part of a garden that needs jazzing up. Leave your new plant to grow for a couple of years before thinking about taking out any old growth.

Cuttings of half-ripe wood, July/August in a frame. Very easy. Cuttings of mature wood in November. Layering.
