Angel Wing Jasmine, Shining Jasmine, Star Jasmine

Description

Sweetly fragrant clusters of up to 2" wide, starry, pure white flowers held against a contrasting foil of medium to dark green, glossy foliage are producednearly continuously throughout the warmer months of the year to potentially year-round under warm tropical conditions. Angel Wing Jasmine, Jasminum laurifolium f. nitidum, is a naturally evergreen, densely branching, scandent or vine-like,sub-tropicalshrub growing to 3-5'H 4-6'W and potentially larger. Itcan be maintained smaller with pruning. This is likely one of the easiest, most floriferous, and most reliable true Jasmines and can be enjoyed as a container plant where not hardy or in the garden and landscape in mild winter regions. It seems to maintain darker foliage in shaded conditions. Provide an acidic, average moist, moderately fertile soil with average or better drainage under full sun to light filtered shade. Angel Wing Jasmine has been selected as an RHS Award of Garden Merit winner.

The Angel Wing Jasmine can also be espaliered on a trellis or other support. While some resources suggest zone 9 cold hardiness, in areas where freezes occur the plants should be protected as they can be slow to recover afterwards.
