About this plant
Wild Jasmine (Clerodendrum inerme), also called seaside clerodendrum or Indian privet, is an evergreen shrub found on coasts from India to Southeast Asia and Australia. It has glossy, oval, dark green leaves and clusters of white tubular flowers with long purple-red stamens, which have a light scent in the evening. It is not a true jasmine.
It is one of the most widely used hedge plants in the UAE. It tolerates full sun, heat, wind, salt spray and sandy soil, and takes regular clipping well, staying dense down to the base. It grows quickly with regular water and can also be grown in partial shade, where it flowers less.
It works as a formal or informal hedge, a boundary screen, a coastal windbreak and a low border, and it can be clipped into simple shapes. We offer it at around 30 cm for new hedges and 80 cm for faster screening.

Care Guide for Dubai Homes
How to keep Wild Jasmine healthy through the Dubai year.
Light
Full sun to partial shade. Keep it out of harsh direct afternoon sun in summer.
Watering
Every 2 days in summer for young plants, 2 times a week once established; less 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: sandy to loamy, well-draining soil; tolerates saline ground. Feeding: a balanced fertilizer every 2–3 months in the warmer season. Common mistake: letting a new hedge grow tall before its first trim, which leaves it thin at the base. Where it works: formal and informal hedges, boundary screens, coastal windbreaks and low borders.
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
