Botanical Name: Trachelospermum asiaticum Common Name: Asiatic Jasmine, Asian Jasmine, Japanese Star Jasmine, Minima Jasmine
Transform tough spots in your landscape into lush, evergreen carpets with our premium Asiatic Jasmine! This fast-spreading, low-growing groundcover features glossy, dark green leaves on wiry, trailing stems that form a dense, weed-suppressing mat. Though not a true jasmine, it occasionally produces small, sweetly fragrant, creamy-white to yellowish star-shaped flowers in late spring to summer (more reliably in cooler conditions), adding subtle charm and attracting pollinators. Perfect for replacing turfgrass, controlling erosion, or filling in shady or sunny areas where grass struggles.
Key Features:
- Mature Size: Grows 6-18 inches tall (often kept lower with mowing/trimming) and spreads 6-12+ feet wide or more, creating thick coverage quickly.
- Growth Rate: Fast — spreads up to 3 feet per year once established, filling in large areas in 1-2 seasons.
- Foliage: Small (1-2 inches), glossy, leathery dark green leaves; evergreen in zones 8-10, with possible bronze-red tinges in colder winters (zones 7).
- Hardiness Zones: 7-10 (tolerates heat, drought, salt, and a range of soils; semi-evergreen in zone 7).
- Landscape Uses: Ideal as a low-maintenance groundcover for slopes, embankments, under trees/shade, borders, erosion control, mass plantings, or as a spiller in containers/hanging baskets. Great for coastal areas, deer-resistant landscapes, or low-traffic zones (not ideal for heavy foot traffic).
Available Sizes:
- 18-Pack 3-Inch Trays: Starter plugs perfect for mass planting and budget-friendly coverage. Space 12-18 inches apart for quick fill-in — excellent value for larger areas!
- 1-Gallon Pots: Larger, more established plants with fuller foliage and roots for faster establishment and immediate visual impact. Ideal for smaller projects or spot-filling.
Care & Growing Tips:
- Light: Thrives in full sun to full shade — best density and color in partial to full sun; tolerates deep shade but may spread slower.
- Soil: Adaptable to most well-drained soils (prefers average to fertile; tolerates clay, sand, or poor conditions as long as not constantly wet).
- Water: Moderate during establishment (keep moist first season); highly drought-tolerant once rooted — water deeply but infrequently.
- Maintenance: Super low! Mow or trim once or twice a year (high mower setting) to encourage density and tidy edges. Prune to control spread if needed. Fertilize lightly in spring for faster growth.
- Pests & Wildlife: Generally pest/disease-resistant; deer and rabbit tolerant in most cases.
