The Mogra Plant, botanically known as Jasminum Sambac and commonly called Arabian Jasmine, is a beautiful and fragrant flowering plant native to South and Southeast Asia. Widely admired for its pristine white blossoms and enchanting aroma, Mogra is a favorite in Indian households, religious rituals, gardens, and perfumery.

This evergreen shrub can grow up to 3–5 feet tall and thrives in warm, tropical climates. The plant has glossy green leaves and produces highly aromatic, star-shaped white flowers that bloom mainly during the summer and monsoon seasons. These blooms open at night, releasing a sweet, lingering fragrance that has made them a symbol of purity and devotion.

Mogra is easy to grow and maintain, making it ideal for both pots and garden beds. It prefers well-draining soil, plenty of sunlight (at least 4–6 hours daily), and moderate watering. Regular pruning encourages bushier growth and more abundant flowering.

In Indian culture, Mogra flowers are used in garlands, hair adornments, and temple offerings. They are also prized in the perfume industry and for making essential oils. Medicinally, parts of the plant have been traditionally used for treating ailments like headaches, fevers, and skin irritations.

Whether grown for its ornamental beauty, spiritual significance, or therapeutic properties, the Mogra plant is a timeless treasure in any garden or home.
