Asiatic jasmine is an evergreen, vine-like woody plant that is commonly used in landscapes due to its hardiness and drought tolerance. Native to Japan and Korea, Trachelospermum asiaticum is a low maintenance groundcover that is great for mass plantings and turfgrass alternatives. ItÕs an ideal plant for people who want an attractive garden without all the hard work. In shady areas, it also provides needed texture and variation.
Once established, Asiatic jasmine requires very little maintenance to keep it looking nice. Most people use this groundcover where turfgrass wonÕt grow, as Asiatic jasmine will tolerate many growing conditions and suppresses weed growth.
Asiatic jasmine requires little mowing, but edges should be trimmed occasionally. It should be used in low traffic areas, as it doesn't withstand foot traffic well. This plant is easier to control when neglected. Too much water, sun, or fertilizer can make it aggressive and unruly.
It is salt tolerant and can be grown in coastal areas. This versatile plant can even be grown in containers and hanging baskets.
Vigorous twining or sprawling vine. An effective groundcover, or give it support to climb fence, trellis, arbor. Good in cascading planters. Evergreen. Perfect high maintenance turf alternative.
