None of the fragrant white jasmines such as spanish jasmine or arabian
jasmine are hardy in Chapel Hill. The yellow jasmines, which have no
fragrance, are perfectly hardy there, however. If that is what you are
looking for, they will sometimes be found under names like jasminum mesnyi,
jasminum nudiflorum, and jasminum floridum. These jasmines would best be
described as shrubby, weeping, or shrub-like rather than vining, and you
certainly would not need 600 plants. Probably 30 would cover the area you
are describing over a period of a few years. They are common landscape
plants in the south, and not particularly expensive.

What do you expect?


I am moving to Chapel Hill, North Carolina. When I move, I will
build a few hundred yards of trellises for Jasmine vines.

My figures suggest I need 600 to 800 plants. Because buying vines
at 2.5 inchs is very expensive, I would like to buy seeds. Does
anyone know where Jasmine seeds are available - not Confederate
Jasmine nor Carolina Jasmine nor any of its toxic derivatives.
