Jasminum nudiflorum
Winter Jasmine
Lacking the powerful fragrance of most other jasmines but compensating with its cold-hardiness and cheery winter bloom, this fast growing, scrambling shrub is native to western China. It produces numerous yellow, funnel-shaped flowers on slender, green, arching branches in late winter and early spring, before the glossy dark green leaves emerge. The branches root at their tips to form a ground-covering thicket.
Winter jasmine grows best in rich well-drained soil and produces the most flowers in full sun, but it tolerates lesser conditions. It works well as a groundcover or bank cover or draped down a wall. It can also be easily trained up a trellis, where it combines well with later-blooming vines.
