Trachelospermum jasminoides
Confederate Jasmine (Trachelospermum jasminoides) is a vigorous, evergreen vine appreciated for its fragrant white star-shaped flowers and glossy, dark green foliage. This popular climbing vine is often used in trellises, fences, arbors, and as a ground cover, bringing a classic, southern charm to landscapes. Its blooms appear heavily in late spring to early summer, filling the garden with a sweet, jasmine-like fragrance.
Confederate Jasmine thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained, moderately fertile soils. It is adaptable to both acidic and alkaline soils but performs best when planted in soil with good drainage. Once established, it is moderately drought tolerant but benefits from regular watering during extended dry periods. The plant is deer resistant and is relatively free of major pests and diseases.
This vine can reach up to 20 feet in length when supported or used as a groundcover, spreading 6-10 feet wide. For best performance, space plants 3-5 feet apart if planting along fences or trellises. Confederate Jasmine provides dense, evergreen coverage, making it ideal for creating living screens or softening structures.
In USDA Zones 8-10, Confederate Jasmine is cold-hardy but may experience leaf damage during hard freezes. In colder regions of Texas, it is best planted in protected locations, such as against south-facing walls or under tree canopies. Applying mulch to the base in winter can also help insulate the roots.
