Madison Star Jasmine
Madison Star Jasmine (Trachelospermum jasminoides ‘Madison’) is a stunning evergreen vine known for its clusters of fragrant, star-shaped white flowers and lush green foliage. From late spring through summer, Madison Star Jasmine fills the garden with a delightful, sweet fragrance that attracts pollinators like butterflies and bees. This cold-hardy variety of star jasmine is more tolerant of cooler temperatures than others, thriving in USDA hardiness zones 7 through 10. Its vigorous, twining growth habit makes it ideal for covering trellises, fences, pergolas, or arbors, adding a beautiful and romantic touch to any garden space.
Madison Star Jasmine can also be used as a ground cover, forming a dense, sprawling carpet of dark green leaves and fragrant blooms that add color and texture to the landscape. This versatile plant prefers full sun to partial shade and grows well in various soil types as long as it is well-drained. Its ability to tolerate both sun and shade makes it an excellent choice for mixed borders, container plantings, or as a feature to soften the appearance of retaining walls. The glossy foliage remains attractive year-round, providing a lush backdrop for other garden plants even when the jasmine is not blooming.
Low-maintenance and easy to care for, Madison Star Jasmine requires minimal pruning, typically only to control its shape or remove any dead or damaged growth. Once established, it is relatively drought-tolerant, though it performs best with consistent moisture. For optimal growth, provide a support structure for the vine to climb, and enjoy the enchanting scent and beautiful blooms that Madison Star Jasmine brings to your outdoor space. Madison Star Jasmine offers fragrant beauty and versatility, enhancing any landscape with its graceful charm, whether used as a climbing vine, ground cover, or container plant.
