Will Confederate Jasmine Crawl Back After Winter?

White flower of Jasmine

We have lived in our current house for six years, and we believe that jasmine had been in our fence long time before we are moving in the house.

We faced at least twice frozen winters, temperature below C 0 (below F 30) degrees. Surprisingly, this tropic flower still live, and blooming this spring. They usually have flower until late summer.

If we grow Jasmine, the plant could have flowers at second years, and the plant may bloom every year and last for 20 years.

Other common names for Jasmine are a confederate jasmine, star jasmine and Chinese jasmine. Scientific name is Trachelospermum jasminoides. The flower native to South East Asia region.

Jasmine represents appreciation, good luck and purity. White flower symbolizes a natural beauty, love and sensuality.
