About Fragrant Confederate Jasmine Vine:
Confederate Jasmine Vine is not a true jasmine. It is a member of the Apocynaceae (Dogbane) plant family.
The common name comes from the intense jasmine like fragrance that wafts from the clusters of white pinwheeled shaped flowers that cover it in the late spring to early summer.
Confederate Jasmine Vine can be utilized in a number of interesting ways. The slender wiry stems will quickly intertwine and climb to cover fences, trellises, or any support or structure that is nearby. It is also an excellent choice for ground cover and erosion control over embankments or other large outlying areas.
Confederate Jasmine Vine is a great choice for planting near areas that will be used for outdoor entertaining as the wonderful intense fragrance is carried on the breeze and will permeate the air all around. It is tolerant of most any soil that drains well, and is quite drought tolerant once it is well established, making it a good choice for outlying areas.
This is a wonderful plant for a beginning gardener, as it establishes quickly and is amazingly easy to care for.
