Notes
Red jasmine (Jasminum beesianum) is a vine for borders and hedges. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. It climbs on a support and grows at a moderate pace. Fragrant pink to red flowers open in spring and again in summer. It also tolerates drought once settled.
