A friend planted a confederate jasmine and we went looking for info. Could not find specific details on confederate jasmine. Only found star jasmine (which looks the same). Star Jasmine can grow up to 30ft high and 6 ft. around. Does confederate jasmine do the same thing? Is it poisonous like the carolina jasmine?
Any other help?
Are confederate jasmine and star jasmine the same plant?tree?
They are the same (Trachelospermum jasminoides) being a vine that will grow 20-30 feet long. Nice glossy leaves and very strongly scented flowers that are attractive to bees. It can be trained on a trellis or over a doorway or it can be used as a groundcover. It likes full sun to partial shade.
I do not know if it is poisonous but I would NOT eat it. I think I have heard that it's sap can be an irritant to some people.
Find your local Extension office. They could tell you more.
