Asiatic Jasmine, Dwarf Confederate Jasmine, Japanese Star Jasmine, Trachelospermum asiaticum majus, Trachelospermum majus Nakai
Award-winning Trachelospermum asiaticum (Asiatic Jasmine) is a tough, medium-sized, evergreen shrub or vine adorned with glossy, elliptical to oval, dark green leaves, up to 2 in. long (5 cm), on wiry, twining stems. The evergreen foliage often turns bronze-red in cold weather. In summer, it produces abundant clusters of sweetly fragrant, creamy flowers, 3/4 in. (2 cm), that age to yellow. Slow-growing, its dense, low growth makes it a terrific lustrous groundcover. It will also happily climb a fence, trellis, or arbor with support. Good in containers or cascading out of hanging baskets.
Resembling Trachelospermum jasminoides (Star Jasmine), Asiatic Jasmine has smaller leaves in darker green and smaller flowers in creamy yellow shades. It is hardier than Star jasmine and more tempered too!
