Carolina Jasmine (Jessamine) - Margarita
Hardiness Zones: 6 7 8 9 Description: No other vine offers what ‘Margarita’ does: abundant spring blooms with the rich tropical fragrance of jasmine followed by sporadic repeat blooms in late summer and autumn, evergreen foliage that is deer resistant, and shade tolerance.
The clusters of yellow trumpets contrast beautifully against the shiny, evergreen, deep green leaves. ‘Margarita’ matures at 10-12 feet tall but is easily kept shorter with pruning. This jasmine is tolerant of light shade, but will be more bushy and compact in full sun. Its uses are almost too numerous to mention: on a fence, a trellis, deck supports, an arbor, the mailbox or a lamp post. It can be allowed to scramble without support over a wall or as an erosion-controlling ground cover on an embankment. ‘Margarita’ will climb open-growing trees and shrubs. I like it associated with something that blooms purple such as tulips, alliums, Siberian iris, or Salvia May Night. Consider combining ‘Margarita’ with another vine for extended bloom: Night Owl climbing rose, purple viticella clematis or perhaps, best of all, the hardy passion flower (Passiflora incarnata). Most important, plant it up close so you can enjoy its scent. You Receive: 1
