Description
144-240" tall (12-20 feet) x 72-96" tall (6-8 feet) wide. Adored for its flush of blossoms early in the season, Carolina Jessamine (Gelsemium Jasmine) also provides glossy, elongated foliage throughout the year. Plants are evergreen in southern gardens and semi-evergreen in more northerly regions, often developing yellow to purple hues in winter. Vines climb readily without training, but are not overly aggressive. (This vine will not swallow trees.) Provide a sturdy trellis or allow vines to scramble along fences and up arbors. Plants can also be naturalized as a groundcover on slopes and banks. Birds often nest or seek winter shelter among the dense growth. Plants can become top heavy or sparse with age. Rejuvenate by pruning vines soon after they finish flowering. Plants thrive in moist, well-drained soils, but tolerate a range of growing conditions and periods of drought. Plant in full sun for best flowering, though plants grow well in partial shade. Note: All parts of the plant are poisonous.
Planting & Care
Shipping
As soon as your order is placed you will receive a confirmation email. You will receive a second email the day your order ships telling you how it has been sent. Some perennials are shipped as potted plants, some as perennial roots packed in peat. The ‘Plant Information’ section describes how that item will ship. All perennials and fall-planted bulbs are packaged to withstand shipping and are fully-guaranteed. Please open upon receipt and follow the instructions included.
Perennials and fall-planted bulbs are shipped at the proper planting time for your Growing Zone. Perennial and fall-planted bulb orders will arrive separately from seeds. If your order requires more than one shipment and all items are shipping to the same address, there is no additional shipping charge. See our shipping information page for approximate ship dates and more detailed information. If you have any questions, please call Customer Service at (802) 227-7200 or contact us by email or chat.
