There are so many little touches that can be added to a basic house to transform it into a true Southern charmer. Columns, shutters, painted brick, carriage lights, and confederate jasmine growing up and over a front door, a garage door, a pergola, or just about any ole thing.
Oh, how I love confederate jasmine...also known as star jasmine. It blooms every spring with these adorable petite flowers and a perfume that is pure Southern girl. It is a fast grower that has never found a brick wall or post it didn't love. Once the flowers are gone, they leave behind a gorgeous, thick veil of deep green leaves. You gotta love a vine that is always looking good.
With a little nylon string and mortar nails, confederate jasmine can be trained into just about any design you want! It truly loves to please.
Confederate jasmine thrives in full sun and partial sun. Outdoors, it does best in zones 8-10, but if you don't live in these zones...it loves the indoors too! Simply plant it in a favorite pot and place it by a window. Bring a little Southern into your home...the lovely smell alone will make you so glad you did.
