Hi Yan:

According to the brief research I did, Confederate jasmin has nothing
to do with the confederacy... Additionally, according to:

http://www.diyprojects.info/bb/sutra234695.html

jasmine is poisonous. Is this true??



Well, yes and no.
There are many plants called "jasmine" or jessamine"

Jasmine: Jasminum many species 15 in one reference.
none listed as poisonous. Arabian jasmine is used for tea.

Night Jessamine: Cestrum nocturnum yes it is toxic

Carolina Jessamine (Jasmine) Gelsimum sempervirens,
yes it is toxic

Confederate/Star Jasmine: Tracelospermum jasminoides
I don't find any toxic listing on my cooperative extension list.
