Confederate Jasmine, also commonly known as Star Jasmine, is a versatile, fast-growing evergreen woody vine celebrated for its lustrous foliage and intoxicatingly sweet spring blooms. Native to East Asia, this sprawling climber features opposite, lanceolate leaves that are thick, leathery, and dark glossy green throughout the year, often shifting to a rich bronze-purple tone during the cooler months of winter. Stems exude a milky white sap when broken, which protects the plant from many herbivores. Starting in late spring and extending into early summer, the plant becomes covered in thousands of pure white, one-inch pinwheel- or star-shaped flowers that release an intense, sweet fragrance capable of perfuming an entire yard or patio.

In landscape design, Confederate Jasmine is a highly adaptable performer. When provided with a trellis, arbor, fence, or wall, its twining stems quickly climb ten to twenty feet high, forming a dense vertical screen of dark green and bright white. Alternatively, when allowed to sprawl along the ground without vertical support, it functions as an exceptional, weed-suppressing evergreen groundcover that stays around one to two feet tall while spreading four to ten feet wide. It is also frequently trained over entry archways or grown in large containers with obelisks to bring its fragrance closer to outdoor seating areas.

Culturally, Confederate Jasmine is remarkably resilient and low-maintenance, thriving across USDA Zones 8a through 11 and tolerating winter temperatures down to 10°F to 15°F. It performs well in full sun to partial shade; while it tolerates deeper shade, full sun yields the heaviest flower production and the most potent fragrance. It is adaptable to a wide range of soil types—including clay, sand, and loam—provided the site has good drainage. Once established, it possesses excellent drought tolerance, high deer and rabbit resistance, and minimal pest or disease issues, making it a staple ornamental vine for southern and coastal landscapes.

Scientific Name	Trachelospermum jasminoides (syn. Rhynchospermum jasminoides / Star Jasmine)
Foliage: Evergreen	Broadleaf evergreen twining vine or sprawling groundcover; dense, heavy, clambering habit. Leaves: Opposite, lanceolate to ovate, 1.5–3.5 inches long; thick, leathery, and glossy dark green; turns bronze-purplish in cold winter months. Flowers: Massed clusters of 1-inch, star- or pinwheel-shaped pure white blossoms with 5 twisted petals; intensely fragrant (sweet, jasmine-like scent); main bloom flush in late spring to early summer. Fruit: Inconspicuous, long, slender, bean-like double follicles (4–6 inches long); rarely forms in cultivation Seeds: Small, oblong seeds attached to white, silky tufts (comas) designed for wind dispersal Bark: Smooth and green on young stems, turning brown, woody, and slightly fissured with age; stems exude a milky white sap when broken
Life Span: Perennial	20–50+ years
Mature Height	As a Vine/Climber: 10–20+ ft (when supported on a trellis or wall); As Groundcover: 1–2 ft
Mature Width (Spread)	4–10+ ft (spreads extensively via twining stems)
Growth Rate	Fast (Once established, grows 2–3 ft per year)
USDA Zone / Chill Hours	Zones 8a–11 (Root-hardy down to 10°F to 15°F / -12°C to -9°C); No chill hours required

PLANT CARE & CHARACTERISTICS

Light Requirements: Full Sun to Partial Shade (Full sun produces the maximum flower density and sweet scent; handles shade well but blooms less heavily).

Water Requirements: Moderate; needs regular watering during the first growing season to establish deep roots; low moisture needs once mature.

Drought Resistance: High once fully established.

Soil Type: Highly adaptable; prefers rich, loamy, moist, well-draining soil; tolerates clay, sand, and chalky soils; pH 6.0–7.5.

Deer Resistance: Very High (Toxic milky sap and leathery leaves make it highly unpalatable to deer and rabbits).

Pest / Disease Resistance: Exceptional resistance to major pests and diseases; occasionally susceptible to scale, mealybugs, or sooty mold if planted in stagnant, dark conditions.

Pollination: Insect-pollinated; major nectar source for bees, butterflies, and moths.

Harvest: N/A (Ornamental vine; milky sap can cause mild skin irritation and all parts are non-edible).

Pruning: Prune immediately after the main late-spring/early-summer flowering period to control size, shape growth, or clear dead stems. Avoid heavy pruning late in the season to protect developing flower buds for next spring. Providing support or a trellis for the vine to climb will help guide its growth and create an attractive display.
