Description
Few plants are as well-known for their intoxicating fragrance as confederate jasmine. Confederate jasmine (also called star jasmine) is a beautiful flowering vine that offers sweetly fragrant white flowers in late spring and summer. Its shiny, dark green leaves are a wonderful accent to the blooms and provide good garden interest, even when confederate jasmine is out of bloom. Because confederate jasmine is fast growing, it's an excellent choice for creating privacy, covering a fence, or adding a beautiful backdrop to the garden. . If you have areas where there's nothing to climb, confederate jasmine can also be grown as a lovely weed-smothering ground cover.
Confederate jasmine grows in sun or shade. It puts on more growth, and produces more flowers in the sun, however. Water confederate jasmine regularly to keep it happy. Once established, it's quite drought resistant and is remarkably easy to maintain. Fertilize once or twice a year in spring or summer. Use a regular garden fertilizer as you don't need anything special for this easy plant.
