Notes
'Pride Of Augusta Carolina' Carolina jessamine (Gelsemium sempervirens 'Pride Of Augusta Carolina') is a vine for privacy screens, specimen planting, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist soil. It blooms in early to late spring and again in early to late autumn, and the fragrant flowers attract butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. It sits low on the menu for deer. Salt tolerance makes it a fit for coastal yards.
Pairs well with Niobe clematis, Oakleaf hydrangea, and Autumn fern.
