Description

Unique in that it reblooms, ‘Butterscotch’ Yellow Jessamine, also called Jasmine, produces LOADS of fragrant, bright golden-yellow funnel shaped flowers in late winter to early spring and then again in fall! This cultivar flowers about 3 weeks later than Carolina Jasmine. The flowers contrast nicely with the shiny, dark green evergreen leaves that cover its dense, twining stems.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing 12 feet in length and 2 to 4 feet wide, Butterscotch Jessamine is ideal for use to climb along the top of fences, on a trellis, on a mailbox, over a pergola or arbor or any other structure that might benefit from or support the vine. Jessamine can also be useful as a ground cover for slopes or banks where it can sprawl and naturalize or to climb into smaller trees where early flowering is especially noticeable. A fine addition to fragrance gardens, yellow theme gardens,

Suggested Spacing: 3 to 6 feet apart on fences

Growing Preferences

Butterscotch Jessamine is very easy to grow and tolerates a wide range of soils, even somewhat boggy soils, however is drought tolerant when established. It prefers a consistently moist well-drained soil of average fertility. We have it growing in sunny and partially shaded sites and it does equally as well in both exposures.

I have purchased several plants from Wilson Brothers both this season and last. Have been very impressed with the condition of the plants. This particular plant arrived dry and wilted. Planted anyway hopefully it survives. This WAS NOT Wilson Brothers fault! The shipping company mis-sorted my package and it went on a three day adventure beyond my delivery date. Pretty sure the plant would have arrived in great shape like every thing else I have ordered if it arrived on time. Will continue to shop Wilson Brothers!—————————————–WBG Reply: Hi Mary, Thanks so much for taking the time to provide your review of the Butterscotch Yellow Jessamine-Jasmine.

The two yellow Jasmine plants that we received were very healthy. It has been two weeks since we planted them, and they are already sending out new tendrils and reaching for the fence. It won’t take long for them to be tall and full. Also, I love the free shipping – No hidden costs. Wilson Brothers has excellent prices and the plants are wrapped beautifully.————————————————-WBG Reply: Hi Judith, Thanks so much for taking the time to provide your review of the Butterscotch Yellow Jessamine – Jasmine.
