Jasminum angulare (South African Jasmine) - A slow growing evergreen scrambling shrub or vine native to coastal areas from Eastern Cape to Natal, South Africa with dark green leaves composed of three 3/4 inch long by 3/8 inch wide leaflets. If given support this vine can grow to 15-20 feet tall by 8 feet wide. From early summer into fall are produced the 1 1/4 inch wide star-shaped white flowers, which are sweetly but delicately fragrant and held in clusters of 3 to 7 flowers that face up. Plant in full sun to light shade. Water regularly. A bit tender and best in near frost-free gardens but can handle a few degrees below freezing without damage. Good used as a vine, groundcover, small shrub or espalier. Flowers are good in arrangements.
