Confederate Jasmine vine (botanical name Trachelospermum jasminoides) is a species of flowering vine, native to eastern and southeastern Asia (Japan, Korea, southern China and Vietnam). Trachelospermum jasminoides is an evergreen woody liana growing to 3 m (10 ft) high.
Common names include confederate jasmine, southern jasmine, star jasmine, confederate jessamine, and Chinese star jasmine.
In early spring and summer, star jasmine produces clusters of small, white flowers that look like tiny pinwheels (or stars). Despite their diminutive size, the flowers pack a huge punch of strong and sweet orange-blossom fragrance and can easily perfume an entire yard. It looks very similar to the Variegated Confederate Jasmine Vine but flower petals of the last one not twisted into a groove.
Confederate 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.
Avoid pruning Confederate jasmine prior to the flowering season or you will cut off the flower buds.
