Notes
Primrose jasmine (Jasminum mesnyi) is an evergreen shrub for containers and low maintenance gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 8, or down to 10°F (-12°C). This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. It grows about 71 to 122 inches tall and 35 to 59 inches wide, so give it room. Yellow flowers open from winter into spring. It does well in acid, alkaline, or neutral soil.
