Holiday - Asiatic Jasmine

The delicious scent of jasmine blooms on an evergreen groundcover – wow! The unique Asiatic Jasmine is so tough, and yet so lovely, it’s hard to believe this plant is so easy to grow. It spreads a dense carpet of glossy evergreen leaves over sunny or shady parts of your garden, in difficult spots that need attention. It stays only a foot tall, but will cover over 10 feet, and it has beautiful pin-wheel white and yellow flowers in spring that smell delicious. It will also climb a fence or hide a tree stump and it grows so easily you will hardly believe it.

• Great ground-cover for shady spots
• Will also grow up fences and trees
• Glossy green leaves turn red in winter
• Richly perfumed flowers in late winter or spring
• Easy to grow and drought resistant

Asiatic Jasmine is hardy from zone 7 into all warm states, and it thrives in all light conditions, from full sun to continuous shade. Even poor soil doesn’t slow it down, as long as it isn’t wet all the time. In fact, once established this plant is very resistant to long periods of drought. Forget about pests or diseases, and just let it do its beautiful thing, with no attention needed at all.
