Jasmine Duet is a combination of two species of magnificent climbing vines: Gelsemium rankinii and Gelsemium sempervirens, both of which are jasmines, also called Jessamine. Jasmine Duet features an abundant and spectacular display of fragrant, funnel-shaped, bright yellow flowers against dark green foliage in late winter into spring and then reblooms in fall. The vine is evergreen in USDA Zone 8a but may be semi-evergreen to deciduous in zones further north. Excellent for growing on a trellis, arbors, fences and walls and can also be used in mass plantings as an attractive groundcover.

Growing 12 feet or more in height or length and 2 to 4 feet wide, Jasmine Duet is ideal for use to climb up and along the tops of fences or over arches and arbors and any other structure that provides support such as a trellis, post or mailbox. It can also be useful as a ground cover for slopes or banks or to climb into smaller trees where early flowering is especially noticeable. 

Jasmine Duet is very easy to grow. It tolerates a wide range of soils, even somewhat boggy soils, however is also quite drought tolerant when established. It prefers a moist but well-drained soil of average fertility. We have it growing in sunny and partially shaded sites and it does equally as well in both exposures. Can be pruned as desired for shaping or to control size.
