~ Downey Jasmine is the closest we get to white snow in Florida State.
There are about 200 species of jasmines which are all native to the Old World. Downy Jasmine, which is native to India, is a type of evergreen, branching vine that can be shaped as a shrub.
It is a popular landscape plant all around the world and is often used in foundation plantings, hedges, borders, or mass plantings.
If allowed to sprawl, the vine will cascade down walls or over fences.
If allowed to sprawl, the vine will cascade down walls or over fences. The fast-growing plant can grow 5-10 feet in height as well as width and does well in full sun to partial shade. It is also moderately drought tolerant.
Have a magical day, my friends.🖼

How about fragrance? Typical jasmin flowers in India are loved for their fragrance and Jasmine garlands are very popular for hair style .

You have a great jasmine bush. We have the same bushes here but find it less fragrant than the original jasmine tree.

Great post on more garden idea! Could the jasmine plant serve as a hedge? You described it as a plant with a prolific growth pattern, Luda. I wonder whether it could be grown successfully in more northern climes.

What a great question and I should have included that in the post. Yes. It certainly could and one side of my house actually has it as a hedge.

That’s the only “snow” Florida gets! That’s okay, Southern CA gets foxtails pretending to be grass!

They are probably called something different in certain areas, but they like to stick to animals with fur (can potentially cause huge vet bills) love to make hole’s in our clothes and socks and re-seed like it’s going out of style!
P.s Thanks for the love!
