Award-winning Trachelospermum asiaticum (Asiatic Jasmine) is a tough, medium-sized, evergreen shrub or vine adorned with glossy, elliptical to oval, dark green leaves, up to 2 in. long (5 cm), on wiry, twining stems. The evergreen foliage often turns bronze-red in cold weather. In summer, it produces abundant clusters of sweetly fragrant, creamy flowers, 3/4 in. (2 cm), that age to yellow. Slow-growing, its dense, low growth makes it a terrific lustrous groundcover. It will also happily climb a fence, trellis, or arbor with support. Good in containers or cascading out of hanging baskets.
