Jasmines are the only flowers which are demanded on a large scale for their rich fragrance and beauty. Considered as one of the most important flower grown in Indian gardens, various species are cultivated with the purpose of purifying the garden atmosphere with their fragrance. In the commercial markets, Jasmines are demanded for their flower extracts in the form of perfumes, oils, concretes and as an essential ingredient in many cosmetics. Hence the value of this crop is very high in home gardens as well as commercially. Having its natural rich fragrance which is mostly high in the evening, the flower in floriculture is also known as "Queen of the night". It is also one of the most important aromatic crops having high economic value which can be grown by every garden lover and commercial florists.
