Jasmine Confederate

Confederate Jasmine

Confederate Jasmine (Trachelospermum jasminoides) is a beloved evergreen vine known for its intoxicating fragrance, lush foliage, and vigorous growth habit. In late spring through early summer, it bursts into bloom with clusters of star-shaped white flowers that perfume the air, making it a favorite for garden entrances, patios, and outdoor living spaces. Its glossy, dark green leaves provide a beautiful backdrop for the bright blooms, and they stay vibrant year-round, offering dependable structure and texture even outside its flowering season.

This versatile plant is ideal for covering fences, trellises, pergolas, or walls, creating a soft, elegant screen of green. It can also be used as a groundcover when allowed to sprawl naturally. Confederate Jasmine thrives in warm climates and performs well in full sun to partial shade. With its combination of durability, beauty, and fragrance, it suits both formal landscapes and relaxed cottage-style gardens. Whether featured as a focal vine or used to soften architectural elements, Confederate Jasmine adds timeless charm and sensory delight to any outdoor space.

Care Instructions

Planting
Plant in full sun to partial shade. Provide a sturdy trellis or support for climbing. Space plants to allow ample growth and airflow.

Watering

Pruning
Prune after flowering to maintain desired shape, control size, and remove any dead or tangled stems. Light yearly pruning encourages fullness.

Pest Control
Generally resistant, but watch for scale, mealybugs, and spider mites. Treat with neem oil or insecticidal soap as needed.

Soil Tips
Prefers well-draining soil with moderate fertility. Add compost at planting to improve structure and moisture retention. Avoid waterlogged areas.
