Anyone have experience with Asiatic Jasmine? I know it's easy to
grow, but is it easy to contain? I'm going to grow some on a sandy,
mostly sunny hill in north Florida. Can you give me any tips?

My understanding is that in the humid, moist climate, it'll be invasive
and spread. Find something different.

Your hill will look like this, sun or shade, as it chokes anything it
covers.

Be aware that Fl also has laws against planting invasive species.. Check
with your local Ag Dep. Here's one which may be able to give you a
thumbs up or down as to the plant and more importantly, if a thumbs down
they can suggest other plants.
