jasmine asian snow

Also known as: Asiatic Jasmine, Asian Star Jasmine, Yellow Star Jasmine

Native to China, India, Japan, and Korea, Asian Snow Jasmine is a dense, compact evergreen shrub prized for its glossy green leaves and clusters of small, star-shaped white flowers. Despite the name, it's not actually related to true jasmine — but its sweetly fragrant blooms make it just as delightful. Its bushy, rounded form and steady bloom cycle make it a reliable choice for borders, containers, and small garden spaces.
