Jasmine nitidum is an evergreen vine or shrub that grows quickly and creates a dense mass of foliage. It features white, small, pin-wheel shaped flowers that are followed by pointed pinkish-purple buds. The prolific flowers are quite fragrant and the leaves are smooth and glossy. As a fast-growing vine, it can be pruned quite severely into more of a shrub-like form in the garden. This easy-care plant does well on partially shaded banks and slopes and can be effective as an infill between other shrubs in the landscape.
