Garden Plant Producing Clusters of Jasmine-like Flowers in the Spring

Features

• Star jasmine is an evergreen that has thin stems covered with glossy, 2-inch, oval leaves. The vine is a climber, and during the blooming phase, is adorned with fragrant, star-shaped, white flowers.

Benefits

• Drought resistant and requiring little maintenance, star jasmine is a good plant for the beginning gardener. The plant has very few pest problems and grows quickly, lending breezes its deep fragrance.

Uses

• Star jasmine's climbing nature allows it to quickly cover unsightly objects such as fences and sheds, and it can be used as a ground cover. The plant works well in hanging baskets and containers, and can be grown indoors.

Warning

• Do not allow star jasmine or other vines to grow on trees near structures, as the weight of the vine in the treetop can become a hazard in windy conditions. If the plant is already established, take care to properly monitor it and prune it when necessary.
