You didn’t know that? Me neither. But Cindy over at Walk Down the Garden Path is having a fun series of posts, “12 Days of Gardening Gifts,” and day two is a hanging basket of jasmine meant to be grown indoors. Can you just imagine how amazing your house would smell with a blooming jasmine growing inside?!
Click on over to see what kind of conditions indoor jasmine likes.
Note: Jasmine is not toxic to cats, but it is for dogs, so keep that in mind. Even if a hanging basket is out of your pooch’s reach, leaves and flowers are bound to drop on the floor and be discovered by your dog before you have a chance to clean them up.

My wedding bouquet, way back when, had stephanotis in it, which I believe is a type of or is related to jasmine. It was very fragrant.
Oooh Nancy, a bouquet with a Jasmine relative sounds beautiful. My wedding bouquet had mint sprigs in it. I was pinching them as I waited to walk down the aisle to keep myself from biting my fingernails.
Hi Fern – Thanks for the link love
I didn’t know that about it being toxic to dogs. That’s good info to know.
Good idea.
I was looking through an old gardening book once and saw that Black Eyed Susan vine was once a popular house plant. It surprised me because I’d never thought of growing it indoors before.
MrBrownThumb — Thanks for stopping by! I didn’t know you could grow Black Eyed Susan vine indoors either. It’s certainly a lot more interesting than most flowering indoor plants.
Oh, wow. Jasmine indoors does sound wonderful. The smell…
We actually have some rosemary trimmed into a tree shape for Christmas, which also makes our living room smell wonderful. Thank you, Trader Joe’s. I’m looking forward to putting it in the garden after Christmas.
Laurel — This time of year seems ripe for indoor greenery that smells good. Your rosemary Christmas tree sounds wonderful!
