Carolina Jessamine

The Gelsemium sempervirens, commonly known as Carolina Jessamine, Carolina Jasmine, or Yellow Jessamine, is an evergreen climbing vine valued for its glossy foliage and fragrant yellow trumpet-shaped flowers.

• Appearance: Features slender twining stems, glossy green leaves, and clusters of bright yellow, funnel-shaped flowers that create a colourful display.
• Indoor/Outdoor Use: Best suited as an outdoor climbing plant for fences, trellises, pergolas, walls, and other garden structures.
• Care: Prefers full sun to partial shade, moist but well-draining soil, and regular watering, particularly while establishing.
• Benefits: Fast-growing, evergreen, fragrant, and excellent for adding vertical greenery, privacy, and bright seasonal colour to landscaped spaces.
• Safety: All parts of the plant are toxic if ingested, so it should be kept away from children and pets.
