Carolina Jasmine 'Margarita'
Gelsemium 'Margarita'
Margarita is a selected form of Carolina jasmine known for heavier bloom production and a slightly more compact habit than the straight species. Yellow trumpet flowers cover the vine in late winter to early spring. arriving earlier than almost any other garden plant and carrying the sweet, honeyed fragrance that makes open windows in February feel like a reward. The glossy semi-evergreen foliage provides structure through the rest of the year. This is the cultivar to choose when you want maximum flower coverage on a fence or arbor in early spring. Plant it where you walk by often. the fragrance at full bloom is a daily event worth arranging your route around.
