Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Emerald-green and very glossy leaves make a lovely back drop to orange-blossom scented, white, star-shaped, spring-summer blooms on this vigorous, dense 10-12' vine. It also makes a wonderful groundcover growing only one foot tall but wide-spreading to create a lovely fragrant carpet. This hardier version of a delightfully perfumed old friend was developed by Cedar Lane Nursery. S-Sh/M
'Madison' is a new cultivar with a sweeter fragrance than the standard Confederate Jasmine and it has the benefit of a longer blooming season. The oval, dark, shiny leaves are thick and leathery yet the undersides are velvet-like. 'Madison' is drought tolerant and is planted in the southern landscape as a tall ground cover. The fragrant blooms engulf the bush every spring. Hardy to Zone 7, 'Madison' can take temperatures into the teens and as a container plant, it can be used for fragrance in baskets or trained on a stake or trellis. This variety is relatively pest-free.
While not a true Jasmine, this beautiful vine has intensely fragrant white flowers that look and smell much like Jasmine. The dark, glossy green leaves complement the flowers very nicely on this twiner. Prune as desired.
A selection several years ago from Madison, Georgia where several species, some thought to be quite frost hardy were killed in a sub 0F freeze. This free flowering selection has 1 1/2" rounded leaves, quite felty on the reverse, and nearly 1/2" palest yellow flowers in great abundance in spring through early summer, then sporadically through fall. Makes a fine ground cover or pot specimen. One plant near our Portland home graces a 2 1/2 story chimney and is drop-dead gorgeous. Full sun to partial shade; at home in full shade but flowers more sparsely. Frost hardy in USDA zone 7, possibly even brief dips into upper zone 6.
