    Description

    Asian Jasmine is the best jasmine choice for a dense, low-growing groundcover. This low-maintenance, creeping vine quickly forms a thick mat of dark green foliage providing excellent coverage in a variety of conditions. Asiatic jasmine thrives in challenging areas where other plants may struggle.

    As a dense groundcover, Trachelospermum asiaticum grows 18 inches tall or less and spreads 6-10 feet wide. Creamy-white flowers with golden-yellow centers may appear in summer, though it rarely blooms in certain climates. Asian jasmine is an ideal groundcover without all the hard work and is great for bank stabilization, erosion control, mass plantings, and containers.

    What’s the difference between Asian Jasmine and Star Jasmine?

    • Asian Jasmine is lower-growing, more shade-tolerant, spreads outward, and is better suited as a dense groundcover.
    • Star Jasmine is an upright climber and is better suited as a bush, staked vine, or espalier trellis.
    • Asian Jasmine has smaller, darker leaves with noticeable leaf veins compared to Star Jasmine.
    • Asian Jasmine’s flowers are white with a tint of yellow, darker yellow centers, and smaller than Star Jasmine.
    • Asian Jasmine does not bloom as much as Star Jasmine.

    Other facts:

    • Trachelospermum is a member of the Apocynaceae family (Dogbanes & Milkweeds) and will exude a sticky white sap if cut. 
    • Asian jasmine and Star jasmine, while not true jasmines like Jasminum polyanthum (Oleaceae family), their fragrance is similar.
    Plant care

    This plant can handle most soil types but prefers neutral, well-draining soil. Water regularly during the first year to aid the plant in establishing a strong root system, frequency can be reduced once established. Can be planted up to five feet apart or closer for a faster, fuller effect.
