Carolina Jasmin is a beautiful, twining evergreen vine native to the southeastern United States. It is best known for its bright, trumpet-shaped yellow flowers that bloom in late winter to early spring, often signaling the start of the growing season. The flowers emit a light, sweet fragrance and stand out vividly against the plant’s glossy, dark green leaves. This vine is commonly used to adorn fences, trellises, arbors, or walls, where its graceful climbing habit and cheerful blooms bring a burst of color and charm.

Carolina Jasmine thrives in full sun to partial shade and is adaptable to various soil types, as long as there is good drainage. It is drought-tolerant once established and relatively low-maintenance, needing only occasional pruning to keep its growth in check. Hardy in USDA Zones 7 through 10, it remains evergreen in mild winters and can even handle light frosts. With its early-season blooms, wildlife-friendly nature, and versatile growth habit, Carolina Jasmine is an excellent choice for gardeners looking to add year-round beauty and seasonal fragrance to their landscapes.
