Confederate Jasmine

Trachelospermum jasminoides

Confederate Jasmine produces the most intoxicating fragrance in the garden — clouds of small white pinwheel flowers that perfume entire yards in spring. It's an evergreen vine that creates a lush wall of glossy green foliage, perfect for covering fences, trellises, and arbors. Not a true jasmine but even more fragrant than most.

Care Guide

Plant in full sun to partial shade. Water regularly until established, then fairly drought-tolerant. Provide a strong support structure — it gets heavy. Prune after flowering to control size. Fertilize in spring. Watch for scale insects. Evergreen in zones 8+, semi-evergreen in zone 7.
