Carolina jessamine (Gelsemium sempervirens) is one of the most beautiful vines of the South. It covers fences and trees in open woodlands and along roadsides throughout the Southeast with its slender vines and bright yellow flowers. It is the state flower of South Carolina.
Carolina jessamine has a modest growth rate until well-established. It may grow from 12 to 20 feet as a twining vine trained to an arbor or trellis after three to four growing seasons. If unsupported, it creates a bushy ground cover.
The common name “Jessamine” refers to a group of popular, often fragrant, climbing plants cultivated widely for their showy blooms. These vining plants produce sweet-smelling flowers, making them highly desirable in gardens.
