You don’t have to see it to know its there. The vines sweet fragrance alerts the senses before your eyes lay sight on its beauty.

Star jasmine, also referred to as confederate jasmine, is a fast-growing vine that blooms during the spring in South Carolina.

Even when the small star-like flowers are not in bloom, the deep green leaves create a good ground cover in the garden. The vine is also used to create privacy or a decorative touch.
