Can you grow jasmin in a container in the house. I have a south window.

yes - but they do need to be stood outside during summer - never let the compost dry out either, and provide good support for the twining stems. Best one to use is Jasminum polyanthum (Pink Jasmine).

Arabian Jasmine (Jasminum sambac) is even better for indoors, being more shade tolerant, and with a longer bloom season.

That's a new one on me, Tugbrethil, don't think I've ever seen it here.

It's more of a tropical plant, And it would probably only available from houseplant specialists, there, Bamboo. The single form is the Jasmine used for jasmine tea. The double form--'Grand Duke'--is used for leis in Hawaii.

So okay in a greenhouse or indoors here then, which is probably why I've never seen it, nor is it listed in my plant encylopaedias, but they're both British, of course. I shall google it out of interest...

What a little beauty that is, Tugbrethil - seems to like humid tropical environments, so perfect in a heated glasshouse.
