Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Star jasmine, Trachelospermum jasminoides, is a beautiful, evergreen climber with lush mid to deep green, shiny leaves that produces masses of sweetly fragrant, white flowers resembling a spinning star in early summer and intermittently thereafter. Best in full sun but blooms well in part shade.

(Star Jasmine)-For years people would plant this jasmine and it would grow for a few years and freeze out. In the last 20 years it has become permanent part of the landscape. This non-clinging vine has deep green leaves. In early summer the plant is covered with white pinwheel flowers that are fabulously scented.

This jasmine is a vining beauty that can be trained to cover a wall, pergola or even for use as a scented ground cover. Th pinwheel white flowers are numerous in spring and produced sporatically throughout the summer months. Why Grow Jasmine? Jasmine plants produce a constellation of small while flowers Jasmine scent is deliciously sweet and uplifting Grown through a trellis, vining jasmine makes an excellent screen to cover unattractive views While not all types of jasmine are fragrant, the ones here are. Plant near where you stroll or relax to fully enjoy the fragrance.

An evergreen vine that requires training, unless wanted as a groundcover. Masses of sweet-smelling, star-shaped, white blossoms appear in the late spring and through most of the summer. New growth in spring is a light green while more mature growth turns dark green and slightly reddens in winter. Growth Rate moderate

Loose clusters of sweetly fragrant white, star shaped blooms are born in mass in late spring and early summer on this vigorous and durable evergreen twining climber. Well established plants can provide intermittent flowering through summer. An excellent choice for arbors. Can be grown as a deep dense groundcover.

AKA Rhynchospermum jasminoides A somewhat slow growing evergreen short vine but so heavily scented that the blooms in July/August make it worth the wait! Not particularly hardy, it's needs a warm sunny location in colder areas. No idea why it's call Confederate Jasmine, since it comes, not from the South, but Asia! It has many star-shaped, creamy-white blooms with a strong, sweet fragrance. Overwinters inside in a COOL greenhouse or sunroom. Let dry between watering. Used as a ground cover.

By: Lazy S'S Farm Nursery

A beautiful twining vine or a lush ground cover, this evergreen jasmine can grow up to 20'. The lustrous dark green leaves make a striking background for the deliciously fragrant, small white flowers borne in slender cymes from May through June. Pruning is required each year to keep the vine under control. This adaptable vine can grow in full sun or partial shade but prefers fertile and well drained soils.
