This beautiful jasmine is covered in stunning, fragrant white star-shaped flowers from mid-spring to mid-fall, providing extended beauty and scent. The blossoms are excellent for cutting and bringing indoors, allowing you to enjoy their sweet perfume throughout your home. Its oval, pinnately compound leaves remain a dark green color throughout the year, offering a lush, vibrant backdrop for the abundant blooms.

It is also a wonderful choice for attracting hummingbirds, adding lively movement to your yard.

This versatile jasmine can grow to about 10 feet tall at maturity, with a potential spread of 3 feet. As a climbing vine, it thrives when planted near a fence, trellis, or other structure where it can be trained to grow upwards, creating a stunning vertical display. Alternatively, it can be allowed to trail gracefully off a retaining wall or slope, forming a cascade of lush greenery and fragrant blossoms. Gardeners in colder climates should note that this plant may behave as an annual, requiring replacement each year for continuous enjoyment. Its adaptability makes it a valuable addition to diverse garden settings.

For optimal growth, this fragrant white jasmine prefers full sun to partial shade, ensuring robust flowering. It thrives in average to evenly moist conditions but will not tolerate standing water, so good drainage is essential. This plant is not particular about soil type or pH and exhibits some tolerance to urban pollution, making it suitable for city gardens. Planting it in a relatively sheltered location and applying a thick layer of mulch around the root zone can help conserve soil moisture throughout the growing season, promoting healthier growth. This is a selected variety not originally from North America, offering unique appeal.

This jasmine is an excellent choice for garden beds and a superb selection for planting in outdoor pots and containers. Its spreading habit makes it ideally suited as a ‘spiller’ in container combinations, allowing it to spill gracefully over the pot’s edges, adding visual interest. It can also be grown alone in a suitable container, becoming a fragrant focal point. Remember that plants in outdoor containers typically require more frequent watering than those planted directly in the ground. You will receive a healthy live plant that is 4-7 inches tall, shipped without a pot, ready for planting and enjoyment.
