About this plant
Crepe Jasmine suits outdoor spots with full sun to partial shade, afternoon shade in summer inland. Its pet safety is not confirmed, so check with your vet if you have pets.
Carries white pinwheel flowers in full sun to part shade, with afternoon shade inland in summer.
Crepe Jasmine, also called pinwheel flower, is an evergreen shrub with glossy, dark green leaves and white flowers with crimped, twisted petals. Native to South and Southeast Asia, its botanical name is Tabernaemontana divaricata. Some forms have a light fragrance at night. It is not a true jasmine.
It performs well in Dubai. It tolerates heat and handles both sun and partial shade, flowering through much of the year. Inland, light afternoon shade in summer keeps the leaves glossy and dark. It needs regular watering and does not like drying out completely or salty water, which can yellow and burn leaf edges. It stays dense with light trimming.
Use it as a low to medium hedge, in mixed borders, as a foundation shrub around villas, in courtyards and in large planters on terraces and balconies. It also works in semi-shaded spots where many flowering shrubs struggle. We offer it at 60-80 cm.

Care guide for Dubai homes
How to keep Crepe Jasmine healthy through the Dubai year.
Light
Full sun to partial shade; afternoon shade in summer inland. Keep it out of harsh direct afternoon sun in summer.
Watering
Every 2 days in summer when the top 3 cm is dry; twice a week in winter. Water when the top 2 to 3 cm of soil feels dry, empty the saucer afterwards, and check the soil before you water: AC slows how fast the plant uses water.
Care notes
Soil: rich, well-draining slightly acidic soil with compost. Feeding: a balanced or flowering fertilizer every 4-6 weeks in the warm months. Common mistake: letting the soil dry out completely in summer, which yellows and drops the leaves. Where it works: hedges, borders, villa foundation beds, courtyards and terrace planters.
AC and air flow
Keep it at least 1 metre from AC vents. Cold air blowing straight onto the leaves dries the edges.
Cleaning the leaves
Dust settles quickly in Dubai homes. Wipe the leaves with a damp cloth every few weeks so they keep taking in light.
Feeding and repotting
Feed once a month from March to October. Repot every 2 years into a pot one size up, or book a Plant Doctor visit and we do it for you.
Pets
Not listed in the ASPCA database (checked under Crepe Jasmine, Pinwheel Flower and Tabernaemontana divaricata). Check with your vet if you have pets.
