Description
Primrose jasmine, Jasminum mesnyi, is a rambling, open evergreen shrub or sprawling vine with long, slender, arching stems with glossy dark green leaves reminiscent of the more commonly grown. J. nudiflorum. Without support, it grows in a fountain-like mound 5 feet high and wide and can be used as a ground cover including on slopes. With some support you can grow it against a wall or on a trellis. The fragrant, yellow, trumpet-shaped flowers are borne in early spring and sporadically into summer. ‘Gold Tip’ has golden foliage in sun, lime green in part shade.
