Estimated Native Range
Summary
Jasminum mesnyi, commonly known as Japanese Jasmine, is an evergreen perennial vine native to open woodlands, forest edges, and riparian zones in South China and Vietnam. It typically grows as a scrambling shrub reaching 3 m (10 ft) in height and 1–2 m (3–7 ft) in width. Japanese Jasmine is characterized by its bright yellow, fragrant flowers that bloom in spring and summer, with the cultivated form often featuring semi-double flowers. The plant’s evergreen foliage and showy blossoms make it a popular ornamental choice.
Japanese Jasmine is valued for its fragrant, showy flowers and versatility in the landscape. It can be used for border planting, as a ground cover, or trained as a slender climber with appropriate support. It requires regular pruning to maintain shape, especially in confined spaces. While it is not frost-hardy, it can thrive in a range of light conditions from full sun to full shade and prefers medium to high water levels in soils with good drainage.CC BY-SA 4.0
