Jasmine—Jasminum spp.
Family Oleaceae (Olive family)
Plant IdentificationJasmines are evergreen, semievergreen, or deciduous shrubs and vines. True vines spread by twining stems. Shrubs don’t twine but put out long stems that must be tied. Leaves are often divided into leaflets. Clusters of white, yellow, or rose colored flowers can bloom from spring into fall and are often fragrant.
Optimum conditions for growthJasmines grow well in areas with full sun or light shade. They require moderate to regular amounts of water and perform best in good soil. Prune plants year round to control growth and keep it from becoming tangled.
