Madison Confederate Jasmine or Trachelospermum jasminoides is a species of evergreen flowering vine, native to eastern and southeastern Asia (Japan, Korea, southern China and Vietnam). Common names include confederate jasmine, southern jasmine, star jasmine, confederate jessamine, and Chinese star jasmine.
For gardens in USDA Zone 7 you now can grow a fragrant Confederate Jasmine vine, just make sure that it's a Madison and allow the plant to establish itself before winter. In USDA Zones 8 and further south the vine can be safely planted year round.
Madison is a much improved Confederate Jasmine - it produces more flowers with a sweeter orange-blossom aroma, has improved cold hardiness, an extended blooming period, slightly larger leaves, and has a more compact growth habit than other Trachelospermum varieties.
Madison Confederate Jasmine tolerates a wide range of soils, somewhat damp soils but is also quite drought tolerant when established. In warmer climates, the Madison 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.
Growing quickly to 12 feet (4m) or more in height or length and 2 to 4 feet (60-120sm) wide, the Madison Star jasmine is ideal for use to climb along the top of fences, on a trellis, on a mailbox, or over an arbor or any other structure that might benefit from or support this magnificent fragrant vine.
Trachelospermum jasminoides can also be useful as a groundcover for slopes or embankments where it will sprawl and naturalize, or to climb into smaller trees where early flowering is especially noticeable.
