Kunda
Kunda, commonly known as Jasmine or Jasminum sambac, is a fragrant flowering plant valued for its aromatic white or cream-colored blooms. Native to tropical regions of Asia, including India, Kunda is often grown as an ornamental shrub or vine. The plant produces small, star-shaped flowers with a rich, sweet fragrance that is highly prized in perfumes and traditional garlands. Kunda typically grows to about 3 to 6 feet tall and prefers well-draining soil in a sunny or partially shaded location. It requires regular watering, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings to avoid root rot. The plant is relatively low-maintenance and can be pruned to maintain its shape and encourage new growth. Its lush foliage and fragrant flowers make it a popular choice for gardens, courtyards, and as a decorative indoor plant.
