Jasminum leratii (Privet-leaved Jasmine) - An evergreen shrubby vine that if given support will climb up as high as 12 feet but without support it can remain shrubby and can be kept to 4-6 feet tall with pruning. It has lanceolate glossy, 1 to 2 inch long, dark green leaves that are borne on thin reddish stems. Clusters of 3/4 inch long white flowers appear along the stems in spring and sporadically all year long. It prefers sun to bright shade and regular watering. The foliage of this plant resembles a privet leaf and for many years this plant was sold under the name Jasminum ligustifolium. It has a similar look to Star Jasmine, Trachelospermum jasminoides, but the leaves are finer in texture, and the bloom texture and fragrance are a bit more delicate. We have had reports of this plant being hardy to 20°F but have experienced damage on our nursery plants at 26° F.  Information displayed on this page about  Jasminum leratii is based on the research conducted about it in our library and from reliable online resources. We also note those observations we have made of this plant as it grows in the nursery's garden and in other gardens, as well how crops have performed in our nursery field. We will incorporate comments we receive from others, and welcome to hear from anyone who may have additional information, particularly if they share any cultural information that would aid others in growing it.
