Trachelospermum asiaticum 'Minima'

jasmine minima

Also known as: Dwarf Confederate Jasmine, Dwarf Asiatic Jasmine, Mini Jasmine

Native to Southeast Asia, Jasmine Minima is one of the toughest and most reliable groundcovers you can plant. It forms a thick, weed-suppressing mat of small, glossy dark green leaves that handles heat, drought, and even light foot traffic with ease — a true workhorse for tricky garden spots. It also produces sweetly fragrant white flowers with yellow centers that attract hummingbirds and butterflies, adding a subtle bonus of color and scent to its dense, carpet-like spread.

plant tips

  • water

    Prefers moderate water and is very tough, tolerating dry heat and drought conditions well once established.

  • light

    Prefers full sun for the fullest, most vigorous growth.

  • size

    Grows as a low shrub or creeper between 2–5 ft. tall.

care

Plant in well-drained soil in a sunny spot and water regularly until established. To keep a neat, carpet-like appearance, trim once a year in early spring — setting the trimmer to a higher setting removes leggy growth and encourages a fresh, uniform flush of new leaves. Low maintenance and virtually pest-free once established.

  • patio tabletop charm

    Style Jasmine Minima on your patio table for a fragrant, low-growing accent. Its tiny glossy leaves and delicate white flowers add a fresh, natural touch to any outdoor table setting.

  • balcony centerpiece decor

    Place Jasmine Minima on a balcony or terrace table for a compact, fragrant display that thrives in the sun. Its dense, carpet-like growth makes it a charming, low-maintenance accent for small outdoor spaces.
