Gelsemium sempervirens (Carolina Jessamine)

Gelsemium sempervirens
Carolina Jessamine

A fast-growing and fragrant evergreen vine, Gelsemium sempervirens, commonly known as Carolina Jessamine, is prized for its vibrant yellow trumpet-shaped flowers that bloom in late winter to early spring. This twining vine is an excellent choice for covering trellises, fences, or arbors, adding year-round greenery and early-season color to the landscape. It is drought-tolerant, deer-resistant, and a favorite for pollinators.
