Jasminum angulare

Description

The South African jasmine vine is a slow to moderate growing vining shrub from South Africa. When planted on slopes and against walls it can mound 8-10 ft. tall and spread 12-15 ft. wide. Grown as a vine, it can reach 15-20 ft. tall and fit residential scale spaces very well. Its dark green leaves are divided into 3 rounded leaflets; clusters of lightly fragrant white flowers cover the plant in spring.
