What is it exactly which makes the Jasmine flower so attractive in the garden? Is it the size, abundance, shape, or could it be the amazing smell that is found in almost every favorite perfume? Let your nose guide you to all that this incredible plant has to offer.
Many creeping groundcovers can also transform upwards. Jasmine is no exception. This flowering vine is a perfect decoration for an unsightly fence or wall. Although it needs some support as a vine, Jasmine flowers will extend your garden up offering the opportunity to hide an ugly view or create some privacy. Adding beauty as well as carrying its lovely scent through the wind, Jasmine is an excellent choice.
There are four main varieties of Jasmine vines, each with its own characteristics:
White Jasmine Flower
Common White Jasmine (Jasminum Officinale)
A Zone 7 preferred vine, this Jasmine’s flowers are fragrant white blossoms in the summer. One of the most popular of the Jasmine vines, the Common White is ideal for trellises or arbors, growing vibrantly in sun or light shade. As a semievergreen, it will lose its leaves during particularly cold winters.
Japanese Jasmine (Jasminum Mesnyi)
The particularly beautiful Jasmine flowers in this Zone 8 plant are small and yellow. Not a true climber, this vine will need some strong string or wire to support its height. Blooming in the spring and summer, this plant prefers sun or light shade.
Star Jasmine (Trachelospermun Jasminoides)
While often used as a groundcover, this Zone 9 plant will climb with twine as support. One of the best flowering vines for a shady area, Star Jasmine loves a moist soil.
Yellow Star (Trachelospermun Asiaticum)
One of the hardier of the Jasmine flowers, it will tolerate Zones less than 8 if it gets some winter protection. Extremely fragrant ivory flowers bloom from early spring to midsummer along the evergreen leaves. Sun or light shade and a wetter soil are preferred.
