About Tagar Wheel (Crape Jasmine)
Tagar Wheel (Tabernaemontana divaricata, Apocynaceae family) - also known as Tagar Single, Crape Jasmine, East Indian Rose Bay, or Nandivardhana - is an evergreen perennial flowering shrub that blooms year-round and is one of the most traditional flowering plants in Indian homes. It has attractive, shiny leaves and grows as a hardy landscape plant across India.
Growing Conditions
- Sunlight: More than 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.
- Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil rich in organic content.
- Water: Water when the top 2-3 inches of soil feel dry, ideally in the morning or evening.
Planting & Placement
Grows to 2-4 metres with a nicely rounded canopy, suited to pots and gardens alike. Excellent for hedges, borders, screening, and pooja/prayer use; the white flowers stand out especially on overcast days and in moonlight.
Care
- Fertilizer: Apply organic fertilizer once a month; water immediately after fertilizing.
- Pruning: Prune one or more times a year, ideally after a flowering flush finishes, to promote quick regrowth and new flowers. Watch for mealybug and treat with neem oil spray if needed.
Flowering
Blooms year-round with pure white flowers, 1-5 cm in diameter, borne in bunches at the branch tips, and lightly fragrant.
