Jasminum officinale , better known as common jasmine or common jasmine, is a perennial climbing plant prized for its delicate foliage and captivatingly fragrant star-shaped white flowers. This graceful plant is perfect for covering a pergola, fence, or trellis, bringing a touch of romance and elegance to the garden. Highly decorative, common jasmine seduces as much by its appearance as by its intense summer blooms that fill the warm air with their sweet scent. It can also be grown in pots in colder regions, bringing indoors during the winter. Please note that not all perennials are available at all times: please call one of our branches or send us a request by email to check inventory.
