A jasmine vine on a trellis has an evening perfume that centuries ago lured Persian kings to stroll in the garden. It can thrive in yours with our tips.
Centuries ago Persian kings planted jasmine vine for the evening perfume it released, luring them to take garden strolls in the cooling air.
To capture that same perfume, plant a jasmine vine near a doorway or on an arbor or a trellis above a walkway. A family of vigorous growers, Jasminum has more than 200 species (some of which are shrubs). Vining varieties can grow as high as 40 feet. J. officinale (common jasmine) has small white, star-shaped flowers, followed in the season by small black berries. The fragrant vine star jasmine (Trachelospermum jasminoides), grown widely in the southern US, is not a true jasmine; it belongs to a different genus altogether.
