The Mogra plant or Jasminum sambac bears white flowers and is an evergreen shrub with dark green foliage. Its speciality is that the flowers bloom only at night and give off a very fragrant aroma. This plant has its roots in the Middle East and has a natural exotic quality about it. Jasminum sambac is a small shrub or vine growing up to 0.5 to 3 m (1.6 to 9.8 ft) in height. It is widely cultivated for its attractive and sweetly fragrant flowers. The flowers may be used as a fragrant ingredient in perfumes and jasmine tea. In India and Pakistan it is very popular and is known as Mogra. Mogra plant is dwarf growing shrub with almost stalkless leaves and wavy margins. The plant can be grown as a short climber too. The heavy scented white flowers are borne in clusters of 3 to 12 and may be single, semi-double or perfectly double. The plant flowers mainly in the summer and rainy seasons, but several other flushes during other parts of the year are quite common. The scientific name of Mogra is Jasminum sambac; it belongs to family Oleaceae. Although native to India, it is commonly known as Arabian Jasmine. It is the double flowering types that are known as Motiya or Mogra in India. The large double flowers (Tuscan) are known by different names like Boddu malle, rai; the semi-doubles are known as dondhara malle, moturia etc. Once planted Mogra plant will remain in the field for 10 to 15 years. This makes it obligatory to plough the land deeply and prepare it thoroughly by ploughing and harrowing. The best time for planting in most parts of India is the monsoon. On the ground, Mogra is planted 75 cm apart in rows spaced 1 m apart. Mogra is propagated by stem cuttings of almost mature wood of old plants. The cuttings are raised in nursery beds and planted in pots after one year. The plant can also be propagated by layering, commonly ground layering. The best time for propagation by either method is the rainy season. Plants can easily be grown by root division at the time
