Jasminum floridum (yellow)

This twining, semi-evergreen vine showcases a mounded, sprawling habit and is ideal for trellis use. It thrives in USDA Zones 8-11 and prefers warm climates with temperatures above 20°F. This vine produces bright, sunny-yellow flowers that bloom profusely in spring and sporadically throughout the growing season, offering a vivid burst of color. While not known for significant fall color, it does produce small, dark fruits that are ornamental but not typically edible. It grows best in well-draining, fertile soil, tolerates some drought once established, and reaches a mature height of 3-4 feet if unsupported, spreading much further when trained. Deer-resistant and perfect for adding vertical greenery to a garden, this vine offers an alluring fragrance and visual appeal ideal for fences, trellises, or spilling over walls.
