Asiatic Jasmine

Asiatic Jasmine is a dependable evergreen groundcover that forms a dense carpet of glossy dark-green foliage. It tolerates sun or shade and is especially useful beneath trees, on slopes, and in large areas where turf struggles. The wiry stems spread and root as they grow, helping suppress weeds once the planting fills in. Water regularly during establishment, then trim or mow in spring as needed to maintain the desired height and boundary. Available for local pickup from Towns Edge Nursery.
