Author Garden: Jasmine Flowers! DragonYoga Garden Helper Member # 8178 posted                       Hey all! I'm a newbie to this place, and I was wondering if anyone knew the right name for the type of jasmine that creeps as a vine? I went to Home Depot today, they only had the shrub and the minima versions. Here's my landscaping/gardening idea: I have about 45 1/2 feet of space in my front yard, in a straight line, minus the driveway and the sidewalk. I want to put in wooden posts, string some wire through it and plant creeping Jasmine on that. Or should I get the chickenwire type for it to climb better? Thanks! * * * * Love As Thou Wilt Plants: 22 | From: St. Augustine, FL | Registered: Mar 2006  |  Seeded: 24.26.47.219 patches1414 Garden Pro!

I really like your idea, but I would probably string the wire through the posts instead of using the chicken wire fencing. I think the wire would be less restricting to the growth of the plants. Just my thoughts!!! Have a BEAUTIFUL day! patches * * * * "Lord, I love you and I need you, come into my heart, and bless me, my family, my home, and my friends, in Jesus' name. Amen!"

It is yellow and a good grown cover. The arabian jasmine is the one that is touted as having the best smell and it's a vine but it likes shade so I'm not sure it will work for you unless your fence is in shade. It's a tropical and I usually see it as a house plant. It is very, very expensive. The jasmine 'maid de orleans' is another possiblity that you might want to look into. It too is a vine. * * * * Plants: 8557 | From: triangle, virginia | Registered: Mar 2005  |  Seeded: 4.249.150.164 Jiffymouse guest posted                 another jasmine, confederate jasmine or star jasmin has white flowers, a great smell, and is a vine.

LOL Being in St. Augustine, there are some old, old constructions here, especially in the Old Town/downtown area. There's one - the Ximenos - Fatimos House (sp?) and their stone gate, stone walls are mostly covered in jasmine. *mmm* I think it's the star jasmine... I'm not sure. * * * * Love As Thou Wilt Plants: 22 | From: St. Augustine, FL | Registered: Mar 2006  |  Seeded: 24.26.39.142 DragonYoga Garden Helper Member # 8178 posted                       OH btw, the yard's in full sun. * * * * Love As Thou Wilt Plants: 22 | From: St. Augustine, FL | Registered: Mar 2006  |  Seeded: 24.26.39.142 RugbyHukr Garden Pro!
