Why not grow common white jasmine?

In early spring, they are covered with white blossoms which are more than 12 centimetres wide.

After the blossoms fall off, green leaves cover the trees all summer.

In autumn, these leaves change to red and orange before they litter the ground with colour.
在秋天,這些葉子變成紅色和橘黃色后飄落下來,將大地裝點得色彩繽紛。
The Yulan magnolia is ideal for cool, moist climates.
玉蘭是適合涼爽,潮濕氣候的理想植物。
