Description

If you want to enhance the sensory appeal of your spring and summer garden it doesn’t get much better than the Confederate Jasmine Vine…some folks call it Star Jasmine. This fast growing vine with lustrous, dark green evergreen foliage produces a profusion of highly fragrant, white, star-shaped flowers in clusters from spring through early summer that fill the air in your garden with sweet aroma. Climbs up to 15 feet in a relatively short period of time.

Landscape & Garden Uses

With vines growing 10 feet or more long and 2 to 4 feet wide, Confederate Jasmine is an ideal selection for use to climb along the top of fences, on a trellis, on a mailbox, over an arbor or any other structure that might benefit from or support the flowering vine. It can also be useful as a ground cover for slopes or banks where it can sprawl and naturalize or to climb into smaller trees where early flowering is especially noticeable.

Spacing Recommendations: 2 to 3 feet apart to cover fences

Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 7a, where this Jasmine variety is not reliably winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring. That said, this vine grows quickly so you might have to cut it back some before bringing it indoors.

Growing Preferences

Confederate Jasmine tolerates a wide range of soils. It will tolerate somewhat damp soils but is also quite drought tolerant when established. It prefers growing in sun but will tolerate some afternoon shade. In warmer climates the vine would appreciate a little break from the hottest part of the afternoon sun. Avoid pruning prior to the flowering season or you will cut off the flower buds. Fertilize once a year with a well balanced slow release fertilizer.

So I was ordering a fig tree anyway. It’s autumn, might as well check the SALE items. Confederate Jasmine, yes, please! What a nicely grown plant at a very fair price. Potted up and in the greenhouse a week now and it’s bursting with new growth. A few blossoms before it takes a rest for winter? That would be fine. Wilson Bros Gardens is legit. I’ve purchased a good number of special plants online and can’t remember being more satisfied. I will order again from the Bros. Thanks!

I have been buying plants for several years online. When ordering shrubs, vines the pants I received are so small. For example I ordered LILAC BUSH, it was less than 3 inches tall. I had to keep it in pot for another year before planting, Still have about 3 more years before I expect it to bloom. The plants I have ordered form Wilson Bros are large enough to plant on arrival. They a healthy nice size plants, and not much more expensive than the other very small plants I have received, I do not have to wait years to see the plant in full bloom. The local stores don’t have the variety of plants, If Wilson Bros Gardens have the plant I am looking for that whom I will be buying from.——————————-We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy your purchase for years to come!

I wasn’t expecting such a hearty plant to come in the mail. It even had numerous blossoms on it. The plant came promptly as stated, was well secured in the packing box, and the root system was quite moist. I was well pleased. Actually there were two plants that I had ordered and both were the same. I planted them and they are thriving. Thank you.————————————————-We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

I will post my review here and let you decide if you wish to post further.
I ordered nine 1-gal Confederate Jasmine for our back yard. The order was immediately acknowledged and a few days later I received email notice of shipment. About three days and two boxes arrived with very carefully packed plants…larger in growth than I anticipated…looking healthy and well tended. I planted them promptly (the following day) in the spots envisioned. Only when picking up the empty pots did I realize that two plants were in fact Caolina Jasmine. I quickly looked those up on Wilson’s webpage and was amazed that the two are totally different colors. My wife and I assured ourselves that the two “odd” plants would fit the scape fine. Breathe…called Wilson Bros and spoke with a charming woman about the issue…not to “fix” the oversight but just as heads-up for their shipping department and inventory. All good and now, several weeks later, all nine plants are still healthy and well. Only time will tell if the envisioned effect will come to fruition. I will definitely consider Wilson Bros for any future plants which I cannot find locally.—————————————We are glad you are pleased with your purchase! Thanks for the great review! “Regarding the one Jasmine that was the wrong color, if you ever decide you want the other variety just let us know and we’ll be happy to send you one!” Beth | WBG 🙂

Another healthy plant to add to all of those bought from Wilson Bros Gardens. I’m thrilled with my purchase. As always, I received a healthy beautifully packaged order. Prompt delivery. I will continue to purchase those hard to find plants that our local nursery doesn’t carry.
Happy customer! Thank you!————————————————Thanks so much for your awesome review. Let us know if there’s ever anything we can help you with. 🙂 – Beth | WBG

The fragrance of this plant is wonderful. I purchased two plants to climb on a fence on ether side of a gate. The plants were delivered quickly and in excellent condition despite the fact that the delivery service obviously mishandled the box. The delivery person was so concerned he asked me to open the box while he was there. The plants were packaged so securely that there was absolutely no damage. Healthy plants and even in flower. The plants were on a small trellis to hold the vines in place. It was easy to unwind the plants from the trellis in order to wind them up my fence. That was about two weeks ago. They are already climbing my fence and blooming profusely. I definitely recommend this plant, particularly from Wilson Bros due to health and vigor of the plant and excellent packaging.——————————————-That’s so awesome! We are so glad you are pleased with your purchase! Thanks for the kind words and great review! Beth | WBG 🙂

Plant came undamaged in excellent condition! Planted in a large pot adding sand for drainage and adding used coffee grounds to potting soil. It is growing everyday and already flowering after 2 days. I love the fragrance of this plant but could never get one to live. Hoping I can keep this one for a long time.. Great job Wilson Bros!!!—————————————We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

The privit came VERY well packaged. It took longer to open the box and remove the plants with all the staples that I still had a box level with packing material. They were ALL perfectly fine and healthy. I’m moving them from spot to spot along the fence to see where they would look and filter dust from the lane best.
Now, the hollys came very well packaged and healthy! The jasmine did as well, but, one of the jasmines had lost half of its soil. It was scattered all over the inside of the box. I put it back into the pot but when I unspotted it to plant it today, all of the soil tumbled out into the hole I had dug for it. I tried to filter loose soil around and through the ball shaped tangle of roots, tapping as I went until the roots were well covered before putting it in the hole, then added a mounding of soil as well. I suppose after a good soaking the mound will work its way around and through the roots a bit more thoroughly.
I love the looks of the holly!–and!–it is flowering already! I planted them along the patio where it gets filtered morning and nearly full afternoon sun. Both of them look quite nice viewed from inside the house AND from the lane. The jasmine is planted on each corner to the right and left of the holly. I have built a bamboo trellis for them to climb on. There is a pergola over the patio and when the white flowers bloom, they will look quite striking next to the pergola’s redwood posts.!
Here’s a thank you for your attention to detail in shipping AND for shipping such fine healthy specimens! Well done!————————————————————–Thanks for the kind words!! We are so glad you are pleased with your purchase! Thanks for the great review! Beth | WBG 🙂

Purchased this confederate jasmine for my mother’s birthday and it is absolutely gorgeous! The vine she received is beautiful and healthy – it’s growing like crazy already! I contacted customer service after placing the order and they helped make sure it arrived on time. Really happy with this purchase and will definitely be a repeat customer. ——————— WBG Reply: Hi Brittany – What a nice birthday gift for mom! Thanks so much for your review of the Confederate Jasmine and for the compliments. Let us know if there’s ever anything else we can do for you. We’re at your service!

I purchased some confederate jasmine because the fragrance smells so similar to gardenias but is more likely to survive. The plant was delivered to my door in great shape and was secured in the box to a support so that the vines did not snap in transit. Shipping plants is no trivial task, well done Wilson Brothers! ———- Hi Kevin – Thanks so much for taking the time to provide your review. Glad to hear everything went well and hope you enjoy these hardy vines for years to come. We have the Confederate Jasmine covering a large wooden arch and also a fence in our gardens and it’s truly magnificent – wonderful fragrance! We don’t always have them in stock, but if you want to try a hardy Gardenia, try the ‘Fall In Love’ Hardy Gardenia. It’s shown remarkable cold hardiness in our north-central Georgia area; surviving 3 degree F temperatures with absolutely no damage. Let us know if there’s ever anything else we can help you with. – Brent Wilson | Wilson Bros Gardens
