Confederate Jasmine teepee

Confederate Jasmine Teepee combines glossy evergreen foliage and sweetly fragrant white flowers with a ready-made upright form. The vine is trained around a teepee-shaped support, creating an easy patio, porch, or entryway accent that can remain in a container or be planted in the landscape. White pinwheel flowers cover the foliage in late spring and early summer. Available for local pickup from Towns Edge Nursery.
