Trachelospermum jasminoides

confederate jasmine staked

Also known as: Star Jasmine, Chinese Star Jasmine, Confederate Jasmine

Native to Southeast Asia, Confederate Jasmine is one of the most fragrant plants you can grow — just a few blooms can fill an entire patio or garden with sweet scent. This staked version is trained to climb a small support, creating a tidy, ready-to-display vertical accent right out of the pot. Its glossy green leaves and clusters of pinwheel-shaped white flowers bloom from late spring into summer, filling the air with fragrance the whole season.
