Notes
Common jasmine (Jasminum officinale) is a vine for pollinator gardens, containers, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist soil of most types. Deer rarely make it their first choice. Fragrant white flowers open from pink buds in summer. Train it up a wall or pergola in a protected spot.
Pairs well with Blue jasmine, False indigo, and Coral Charm peony.
