Carolina Jasmine | Fragrant Yellow Evergreen Vine

Carolina Jasmine — Fragrant Yellow Blooms on an Evergreen Vine

When Carolina Jasmine blooms in early spring, it announces the season with a wave of bright golden-yellow flowers and a sweet, intoxicating fragrance that drifts across the entire garden. A native evergreen vine of the southeastern U.S., it clothes fences, trellises, arbors, and pergolas in glossy green foliage year-round — then erupts in color just when the garden needs it most.

Why You'll Love It

• Sweetly Fragrant Spring Blooms: Trumpet-shaped golden-yellow flowers appear in early spring with a rich, honeyed scent that fills the outdoor space and draws pollinators.
• Evergreen Year-Round: Glossy, deep green foliage keeps fences, walls, and structures looking lush and finished through every season.
• Fast-Climbing & Versatile: Twines readily up fences, trellises, pergolas, and arbors, or cascades beautifully as a slope-covering ground cover.
• Low Maintenance: Once established, it's drought-tolerant, requires minimal pruning, and is naturally resistant to most pests.
• Available in 2-Pack: The 1 Gallon 2-Pack option makes it easy to cover a fence line or trellis quickly and economically.
