Common Name
Native Jasmine
Description
Native Jasmine is a magnificent twining vine renowned for its intensely perfumed white flowers and vigorous climbing habit that creates beautiful fragrant displays in Australian gardens. This hardy species produces loose clusters of star-shaped white flowers around 15mm in diameter that bloom in late spring and early summer, filling the entire garden with divine sweetness particularly on still nights. The narrow, elliptical leaves create attractive fine-textured evergreen foliage that supports vigorous growth for excellent privacy screening. Hardy and adaptable once established, it thrives in reasonably drained soils and full sun to partial shade positions with moderate frost resistance and good drought tolerance. Perfect for privacy screens, fence lines, fragrant gardens, and areas where climbing native vines with exceptional perfume create memorable sensory landscape experiences.
