Description
If you want to enhance the sensory appeal of your spring and summer garden it doesn’t get much better than the Star Jasmine Vine, formerly and also known as Confederate Jasmine. This fast growing vine with lustrous, dark green evergreen foliage produces a profusion of highly fragrant, white, star-shaped flowers in clusters from spring through early summer that fill the air in your garden with sweet aroma. Climbs up to 15 feet in a relatively short period of time.
Landscape & Garden Uses
With vines growing 10 feet or more long and 2 to 4 feet wide, Star Jasmine is an ideal selection for use to climb along the top of fences, on a trellis, on a mailbox, over an arbor or any other structure that might benefit from or support the flowering vine. It can also be useful as a ground cover for slopes or banks where it can sprawl and naturalize or to climb into smaller trees where early flowering is especially noticeable.
Spacing Recommendations: 2 to 3 feet apart to cover fences
Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 7a, where this Jasmine variety is not reliably winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring. That said, this vine grows quickly so you might have to cut it back some before bringing it indoors.
Growing Preferences
Star Jasmine tolerates a wide range of soils. It will tolerate somewhat damp soils but is also quite drought tolerant when established. It prefers growing in sun but will tolerate some afternoon shade. In warmer climates the vine would appreciate a little break from the hottest part of the afternoon sun. Avoid pruning prior to the flowering season or you will cut off the flower buds. Fertilize once a year with a well balanced slow release fertilizer.
