The listing, *RARE* Star Jasmine (Smells just like Rootbeer) has ended.
10 + seeds! The first pic is of my neighbors plant, the mail man complained and she had to trim it back! Star jasmine has vines they entwine and wrap around together; these vines have a white liquid that oozes out if they are cut. Second pic is of my plant, smell just like rootbeer, very fragrant!
The leaves have points on both their ends, are shaped oval, thick and shiny, and are about 2 inches in length. These vines love to climb walls, trees, fences, and other surfaces. There is also a dwarf variety that you can get too
Star jasmine can be grown in a variety of soils it can handle clay, acidic, sand, loam, and alkaline soil types. It can thrive in full sun to part shade as far as its lighting needs. So there are many places in the yard you can grow this. It is moderately drought tolerant after it is well established but likes moderate moisture. The plants need to be spaced from 36 to 60 inches apart. Also this is easy to propagate by using a hormone for rooting. This should be done in the spring of the year.
This jasmine is great for covering fences. Confederate jasmine can be used in hanging baskets too where the vines can just fall over the sides. It is great for climbing trees as we have already mentioned but be careful my friend not to make the tree top heavy. It is like ivy, as it will climb a wall that you may want to hide due to its unsightly appearance. Can be used as a groundcover if your space is large enough for it. You can keep it trimmed back for this so it does not get too tall. You can also have it in your house as a nice fragrant houseplant. Can you imagine waking up to the wonderful scent?
Confederate jasmine is very easy to grow because you have a variety of soils you can use. It also can handle a range of lighting, moisture, and planting arrangements. It is nice that you can grow this in your house to your backyard and there are some greenhouse varieties in case you still have that greenhouse you had.
