Description

Carolina Jessamine is a spectacular native vine that heralds the arrival of spring with an unforgettable burst of sunshine-yellow color. In late winter to early spring, it becomes absolutely smothered in masses of fragrant, bright yellow, trumpet-shaped flowers that glow against its backdrop of glossy, evergreen foliage. A vigorous but well-behaved twiner, it is perfect for draping over fences, scrambling up trellises, or allowing to cascade from containers. While it is a beloved landscape plant and the state flower of South Carolina, it is crucial to remember that all parts of this plant are highly toxic if ingested.

• Spectacular Spring Yellow Display: Produces an overwhelming profusion of fragrant, golden-yellow, trumpet-shaped flowers in late winter and early spring, creating a stunning seasonal show.

• Native Evergreen Vine: Features glossy, lance-shaped leaves that remain green year-round, providing excellent coverage and structure even when not in bloom.

• Vigorous yet Manageable Climber: A fast-growing native vine that climbs by twining, readily covering arbors, fences, and trellises without becoming invasive.

• Important Toxicity Warning: All parts of the plant are highly poisonous if ingested, containing toxic alkaloids. It should not be planted where livestock graze or in areas easily accessed by curious children or pets.

• Adaptable & Low-Maintenance: Thrives in full sun to partial shade and is tolerant of a variety of soils, heat, and humidity once established. It is also deer-resistant.
