Jasminum tortuosum
Twisted Jasmine
Description
Jasminum tortuosum (Twisted Jasmine) - This South African evergreen vine can scramble to 25 feet with groups of three dark green glossy linear leaflets on strongly angular branches off the main stem. The summer-blooming, 1 inch wide star shaped white flowers appear in clusters at the ends of the branches and have a delightful citrus fragrance that is much more delicate than some of the heavy fragrances of the other Jasmines. It does best in sun with regular watering and is hardy to about 25 degrees F -San Marcos Growers
