Notes
Pink jasmine (Jasminum polyanthum) is a vine for borders, containers, and low maintenance spots. It is hardy to USDA zone 8, or down to 10°F (-12°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to average, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. Pink buds open to fragrant white flowers flushed with pink. The long, dissected leaves stay on the plant in most climates, so it is evergreen to semi-evergreen. You can also grow it indoors as a houseplant.
Pairs well with Oleander, Fountain grass, and Red Lion amaryllis.
