Pink Jasmine
Jasminum polyanthum
Jasminum polyanthum, commonly known as Pink Jasmine or White Jasmine, is a vigorous, evergreen climbing vine native to China. It is highly famous for its abundant clusters of pink flower buds that open into star-shaped, pure white, intensely fragrant blossoms in late winter and spring. It features compound, dark-green leaves and wraps itself tightly around trellises, fences, or pergolas. In Australia, it is a very popular outdoor landscape climber.
Native Origin & Climate
Valleys, thickets, and forests of southern and southwestern China.
Expert Pruning Tip
Prune heavily immediately after the flowering season in spring to control its rampant growth and keep it from overtaking nearby plants or structures.
