Excellent for quickly hiding ugly areas but may be viewed as intrusive. prefers to be planted in full sun, moist soil that has been well-drained. This aggressive climber is best planted in containers because it has the potential to spread. After flowering, make significant pruning cuts and dispose of trimmings carefully. The common jasmine is an ideal plant for a beginner or easy-going plant to add to your collection.
