Trachelospermum jasminoides, commonly known as Star (Confederate) Jasmine, may just be the ultimate when it comes to vines for warmer climates (USDA Zones 8-11). There are a handful of classics that work in perfect harmony with traditional landscapes and Star Jasmine is among the top. I have used this so many times in my designs and it just performs so well, and its incredibly easy to grow. It can be relatively drought tolerant once established, and can actually take a bit of neglect… so for you brown thumbs out there, this may be your winner! The scent is among the most desirable in the world of plants and has a bit of nostalgia for some folks. Star Jasmin can be planted in full sun or part shade and will generally require moderate water. It loves rich loamy soils with good drainage but can tolerate some clay.
I really love the versatility of Trachelospermum as it can be used as a climbing vine, a bordering plant, or as a ground cover when planted in masses! This plant will continue to be a go-to for me and other landscape designers not only because of it’s performance, but it’s timeless beauty.
Happy Planting!
