Stephanotis floribunda vs Murraya paniculata
AOA,
I'm new to this forum. Yesterday i joined the defunct forum http://pakgardening.iforums.us and read so many useful information. I've thrown a question regarding "Murraya Exotica" to brother Khabbab and got immediate answer and link for this new forum.
I live in Khi and growing plants in pots, i am intrigued by the article "Top 25 fragnant perennials for Lahore".
I want to grow either Stephanotis floribunda, Murraya paniculata or Jasminum humile. I've known through Khabbab that Murraya paniculata is called marwa locally. I want to know about other two plants too. If i want to grow them in pots in Karachi which one of them will be more suited and what they are locally called. Are they available in Khi?

Agree with Izhar on that. Marwa blooms longer and has overpowering scent. Bees and butterflies love it too.

I had a 6 year old stephontis in an ideal location in the ground.It only produced a single flower every year.I replaced with vigna caracalla.
