What it actually does

Scents a whole balcony

The flowers open after sunset and the scent carries far further than the plant's size suggests.

Has a place in vastu

In vastu tradition — Grown in the north-east, near an entrance where the evening scent carries indoors.

Where it comes from

Jasminum sambac came to India from the eastern Himalaya and has been cultivated here so long that its origin is genuinely disputed. The flowers open after sunset — the scent is aimed at night-flying moths, and everything we like about it is a side effect of that.

The gajra flower. Strung into garlands for hair, offered at temples, and carried through every wedding in western and southern India. It is the Philippines' national flower and one of Indonesia's, and in India it is less a garden plant than a household fixture.

Vastu placement is a traditional belief, and we include it because people ask. Nothing here is a claim about health. How we treat vastu, and what it does not do.
