plant sale text: Carolina jessamine produces many fragrant bell-shaped yellow flowers in spring. It is one of the most versatile native evergreen vines for our area. It blooms best in full sun but will tolerate some shade. It is a useful vine for your home landscape and a vigorous grower once established. Train it on a lamppost, downspout, trellis or fence. It can also grow up a tree or on shrubs just as it does in the wild. Be aware that all parts of this plant are poisonous!

bloom table text: This evergreen native vine can be seen throughout the south, and is frequently used as a porch, trellis, or bank cover. Yellow, trumpet-shaped flowers appear in March or April, and will occur in profusion in full sun. However, Gelsemium will grow and flower in shady conditions as well, and is a generally trouble-free and versatile addition to the garden. Be aware that all parts of this plant are poisonous!
