Delightful Middle Eastern jasmine clammering to 6-8 ft with dark, evergreen leaves and typically star-shaped, highly fragrant, bright yellow flowers from spring through fall, even in winter in the warmest climates. Sun to part shade in rich soil. Drought tolerant but flowers abundantly with summer water. Fully hardy only where temperatures aren't likely to drop below 18F, upper USDA zone 8. Exquisite and long flowering potted specimen.
