Jasmine - Downy and Star

A wide, cascading jasmine shrub that's hardy and easy to care for, downy is equally at home in a tropical or cottage-garden landscape. It can also add a casual touch to more formal, elegant landscaping. It's all in the trimming. These plants can be left to grow in their natural mounded form or trimmed back to keep them more shaped and rounded. 

 

This is a fast-grower that can take full sun to part shade. It's cold hardy and does fine in Zone 9B, though some frost protection is preferred. You can keep it 3 feet tall by 3 to 5 feet wide. It can get quite a bit taller, but its wide-branching growth and regular trimming will keep the height manageable.

 

Water regularly...this shrub is considered moderately drought-tolerant once established, but regular irrigation will keep it at its best. It doesn't even mind "wet feet" so you can use it in areas where the soil stays moist well after a rain.

 

Star is a fast grower you can keep about 4 feet tall. It's not choosy as to light conditions, taking sunny or shady locations in stride.

This jasmine shrub is cold hardy and does well anywhere in South Florida.
