Lakeview Orange Jessamine (Murraya paniculata 'Lakeview'): Compact, Fragrant Hedge

'Lakeview' is a compact cultivar of orange jessamine, selected for its denser growth, smaller leaves, and suitability as a formal hedge or topiary. It retains the intensely fragrant, white, citrus-scented flowers and glossy foliage of the species. Native to Asia/Australia, Murraya paniculata 'Lakeview' is ideal for smaller spaces.

Growing and Maintenance

Full sun to partial shade, well-drained soil. Regular watering and feeding. It responds exceptionally well to shearing, making a tight, formal hedge. Can be kept at 3-4 feet. In zones 9-11, evergreen; cooler zones, containerize.

Uses

Perfect for hedges, screens, topiary, and containers. The flowers perfume the garden. Attracts birds with its red berries. Less vigorous than the species, easier to manage.
