Fragrant white blooms and evergreen foliage for vertical beauty or ground cover
A fragrant evergreen vine that brings romance to the landscape.
Madison Star Jasmine is prized for its sweet fragrance, glossy evergreen foliage, and clusters of star-shaped white flowers. When in bloom, it brings a refined, classic look to the garden and fills the surrounding area with a noticeable perfume that makes patios, entryways, and walkways feel more inviting.
A versatile plant that can climb or spread.
One of the best things about Madison Star Jasmine is its flexibility in the landscape. It can twine up trellises, fences, arbors, and pergolas for vertical interest, or it can be allowed to spread as a dense ground cover. That adaptability makes it useful in both formal and relaxed garden styles.
Evergreen foliage keeps it attractive year-round.
Even when it is not blooming, Madison Star Jasmine still brings value with its lush, dark green foliage. The evergreen leaves create a dense backdrop that helps soften hardscape, cover structures, and keep the garden looking full through the seasons. That year-round presence makes it more than just a flowering vine.
A strong fit for trellises, fences, containers, and ground cover.
Madison Star Jasmine works beautifully on supports where its twining habit can be shown off, but it is equally useful spilling from large containers or spreading across sunny to partly shaded ground. It can soften retaining walls, create a living screen, or add fragrance and texture to small-space gardens and patios.
Easy care starts with support, drainage, and steady moisture.
Madison Star Jasmine performs best in full sun to partial shade and in well-drained, organically enriched soil. Once established, it is relatively drought-tolerant, though it blooms and grows best with regular moisture. It is commonly regarded as deer resistant, and light pruning after bloom helps keep it neat and encourage fuller growth.

How to Care for Madison Star Jasmine
Before you buy a Madison Star Jasmine, make sure to read about the care instructions that are recommended to keep your Madison Star Jasmine healthy and thriving.
How should I plant Madison Star Jasmine?
Plant Madison Star Jasmine in full sun to partial shade in well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Dig a hole about twice as wide and as deep as the root ball, set the plant level with the surrounding soil, then backfill and water deeply to settle the roots. If growing it as a climbing vine, provide a sturdy support such as a trellis, fence, or arbor at planting time. Space multiple plants about 3 to 5 feet apart so they have room to spread and fill in properly.
How often should I water Madison Star Jasmine after planting?
Water Madison Star Jasmine deeply right after planting, then keep the soil consistently moist during the first growing season while it establishes. In most landscapes, that means watering once or twice a week depending on heat and rainfall. Once established, Madison Star Jasmine is relatively drought tolerant, but it still performs best with regular moisture during hot dry weather. Deep watering is better than frequent shallow watering, especially if you want the plant to bloom well and stay lush.
When should I fertilize Madison Star Jasmine?
Fertilize Madison Star Jasmine in early spring as new growth begins using a balanced slow-release fertilizer for flowering vines. A second light feeding in mid-summer can also help support healthy foliage and continued bloom, especially in lean soils. Avoid fertilizing late in the season, since that can encourage tender new growth before cooler weather arrives. Compost or other organic matter around the root zone can also help support steady, healthy growth.
When and how should I prune Madison Star Jasmine?
Prune Madison Star Jasmine after its main bloom period in late spring or early summer. Start by removing dead, damaged, or tangled growth, then shorten overly long stems to control shape and encourage fuller branching. If the vine is being trained on a trellis or fence, prune to guide the direction of growth and keep it from becoming too dense. For ground cover use, trimming the tips can help keep it tidy and encourage a thicker mat.
