Jasmine is a lovely plant. It has a fantastic fragrance that is especially strong in the evening. I have two different jasmines. They are both vines but you can find jasmine in bush form too. In the beginning I was just winding the branches back into the plant but like most plants it gets bushier if you cut it. The gardener takes the bush saw and just sweeps it over the bush and since the plant is a complete mess with vines going in and out it gives probably not the best result but in a couple of weeks the plant has regrown and it looks great.

My yellow Jasmine blooms first and when it is all over it is time for the white one to bloom. The yellow jasmine is also called Carolina jessamine because it is South Carolina’s state flower.

My jasmine is easy to care for and they can take both heat and cold good. I have mine in full sun and they have never burned. They have never been covered and they haven’t taken any damage so far from those few cold nights we get here in Gilbert, AZ.
