confederate jasmin

Confederate jasmine is a solid performer in zones 9 and higher. It is a favorite for planting around trellises, pergolas, arches, mailboxes, and locations by widows. The sweet-smelling flowers it produces in the summer are the star feature of this plant.  Plant this vigorous vine by a window to maximize the enjoyment of the fragrance when the windows are open. Jasmine will do best when planted in fertile soil. Plant them about 2 feet apart to maximize coverage.
