Notes
Spanish jasmine (Jasminum grandiflorum) is a shrub for borders, containers, and low maintenance gardens. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 9 and warmer, down to about 20°F (-7°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. The flowers are fragrant and appear in early to late summer and again in early to late autumn.
Pairs well with Cape leadwort, Agapanthus, and Rosemary.
