Jasmine Swamp

Swamp Jessamine

Swamp Jasmine is a charming, moisture-loving vine celebrated for its glossy green leaves and clusters of lightly fragrant, star-shaped flowers. Well adapted to wetlands, pond edges, and humid environments, this plant thrives where many ornamentals struggle. Its elegant growth habit and subtle fragrance make it an appealing choice for naturalistic landscapes, wildlife gardens, and shaded outdoor spaces. Swamp Jasmine also attracts pollinators such as bees and butterflies, adding an ecological benefit to its visual appeal.

This versatile vine offers year-round beauty, from its lush foliage in spring and summer to its persistent greenery in mild climates during fall and winter. Whether trained along a trellis, draped over a fence, or allowed to wander naturally, it brings a relaxed, woodland atmosphere to any garden design. With proper placement and care, Swamp Jasmine remains low-maintenance and long-lived, making it an excellent choice for gardeners seeking both reliability and ornamental value.

Care Instructions

Planting

Choose a moist or wet location with partial shade. Plant in early spring or fall, ensuring ample room for the vine to spread or climb.

Watering

Keep soil consistently damp. Water deeply during dry spells to mimic its natural swamp-like environment.

Pruning

Prune lightly after flowering to shape the vine and remove dead or tangled stems.

Pest Control

Monitor for aphids and scale. Use insecticidal soap or neem oil if needed.

Soil Tips

Prefers rich, loamy soil high in organic matter. Avoid fast-draining soils; moisture retention is key.
