Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A dense dwarf form of the ever durable Asiatic Jasmine which creates a finer textured denser groundcover than its cousin. Deep dark green lustrous foliage. Asiatic Jasmine is a tough, reliable, and dense evergreen groundcover that is tolerant of a wide variety of soils and light conditions. This is an excellent choice for difficult sites and is quite drought tolerant once well-established. Deer resistant and salt tolerant. Asiatic Jasmine may spend the first year or two getting established before it begins to really fill in so its a good idea to use an organic mulch that will last until the Jasmine is dense enough to prevent weeds.
