If you live in the South and are looking for a beautiful flowering vine with evergreen leaves that will grow in part shade, you might want to consider Confederate Jasmine (Trachelospermum jasminoides), also known as Star Jasmine.

Despite its common name, it isn’t actually from the same family as common jasmine.

It isn’t picky about the type of soil it is planted in, puts on a big show in the spring and smells heavenly!
