Rose Jasmine

Jasminum polyanthum

Enjoy the exquisite wafting fragrance over weeks and weeks! This attractive, lacy, evergreen vine is covered with large clusters of rose-colored buds that open to richly fragrant, unusually colorful, baby-pink flowers. Buds of these flowers can be collected and  added to teas for a truly divine beverage! Give this exotic and beautiful vine a warm spot in your landscape and be sure to mulch during severe cold. This extra effort will give you fragrant rewards and an abundant, lush, evergreen vine for screening or romantic arch or gazebo festoons.

Rose Jasmine can also be grown indoors, but be ready to prune regularly; can grow to 30' x 12' in a warm outdoor location. These aggressive vines will benefit from regular water during their season of active growth. Established vines will be killed outright by temperatures below 15F; will usually only die back to the ground at temperatures below freezing. Winter protection and mulching at the root zone is critical in the first 2-3 years of establishment. Cold hardy to USDA Zone 8b.
