Jasmine Confederate | 10 Live Plants | Trachelospermum Jasminoides | Fragrant Easy to Grow Vine Showy Blooms

Confederate Jasmine plants. Beautiful vine prized for its very fragrant, star-shaped, white flowers. Plant near a patio, terrace or entry where the fragrance can be enjoyed. In frost free areas, train on posts, walls or trellises, or allow to trail along as a groundcover. A superb summer container plant for colder regions. Confederate jasmine (Trachelospermum jasminoides) produces an abundant display of cream-colored star-shaped blossoms in late spring and early summer. The vines can reach up to 20 feet tall with proper support, or you can allow it to sprawl over a garden bed as a 1- to 2-foot-tall ground cover plant. Grows in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 8 through 10. The glossy evergreen foliage supplies year-round interest even after its blooms have faded. Plant this jasmine in full, all-day sun in moist but well-drained soil. Can be used on fences, pergolas, you name it...but the closer to the house, deck or patio the better in order to enjoy the lusciously sweet fragrance. The tiny white blossoms appear in April and May; the rest of the year this is a handsome vine with small and glossy deep green leaves that can provide complete privacy with the right support. A valuable perfume oil is extracted from the steam distilled or tinctured flowers and used in high end perfumery. In a dilute form, tinctured flowers are much used in Chinese, Vietnamese and Thai incenses.
