Description
A Carolina Jasmine that is cold hardy to USDA Zone 6? Yep! ‘Margarita’ has flourished and flowered as a semi-evergreen in Landenberg, Pennsylvania since 2009 with 100% survival. No wonder it won the Gold Medal Award from the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society!
But the fine attributes don’t stop with cold hardiness. Margarita has much larger, more prominent flowers and is equally as heat hardy as it is cold hardy, handling the heat and humidity as far south as central Florida USDA Zone 9b. The fragrant, bright yellow trumpet-shape flowers appear profusely in early to mid spring in zones 8 and 9 and late spring to early summer in zones 6 and 7, and may repeat in fall. Dark green leaves are semi-evergreen to evergreen depending on location.
‘Margarita’ is a superior seedling selected by Don Jacobs of Eco Gardens in Decatur, Georgia. With its much larger, more prominent flowers, it was superior in every way to common seedlings, so Jacobs named it for his wife. He had no idea that it would survive winters to minus 25 F.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 8 to 12 feet long or high ans 1 to 5 feet wide, Margarita Carolina Jasmine is a ideal for use to climb and grow on fences, trellises, mailboxes, over arches, arbors and pergolas or any other structure that might benefit from or support the vine. It can also be useful as a ground cover for slopes or banks where it will sprawl and naturalize or to climb into smaller trees where early flowering is especially noticeable. Also nice spilling over walls or as a spiller in containers. A fine addition to fragrance gardens, yellow theme gardens and cottage gardens.
Suggested Spacing:Â 3 to 5 feet apart on fences
Growing Preferences
Carolina Jasmine is very easy to grow in most any moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and full sun to part shade. We have it growing in sunny and partially shaded sites and it does equally as well in both exposures. Established plants have good drought tolerance. Can be pruned after flowering for shaping purposes or to reduce size. Light rimming is okay during summer. Cease pruning 45 days prior to the average first-frost date in your area.
