Physical Appearance:

• Flowers:
  • The flowers of Nithya Kalyani Pink are pink, often with a soft, pastel pink color that gradually deepens as the flower matures. The color can vary, ranging from light pink to deeper, more vibrant shades of pink.
  • These flowers are star-shaped, with five pointed petals arranged symmetrically around the central stigma. The blooms are smaller than those of some other jasmine species but are densely packed in clusters.
  • The plant is highly fragrant, with a sweet, floral scent, similar to other jasmine varieties, though the pink version is said to have a slightly more delicate aroma.
• Growth Habit:
  • Nithya Kalyani Pink jasmine can grow as a shrub, climber, or ground cover, depending on how it is pruned and supported. It typically grows to about 2-4 meters (6-12 feet) in height when left to climb or spread. It can also be pruned into a compact shape if grown in containers or as a bush.
• Leaves:
  • The leaves are dark green, glossy, and oval-shaped with smooth edges. Like other varieties of Jasminum sambac, the foliage is dense and attractive, providing an evergreen backdrop for the fragrant flowers.
• Vines and Stems:
  • The plant has woody stems and flexible vines that allow it to climb trellises, fences, or walls when supported. It can be trained to form a neat bush or allowed to sprawl across the ground.
