Carolina Jessamine is a sprawling native evergreen climbing vine that can also be a groundcover. The shiny lance-like light green leaves can develop yellow or purple hues in winter. Trumpet-shaped bright yellow, fragrant flowers bloom late winter to spring. Prefers full sun and well-drained soils. The flowers and leaves are highly toxic if ingested.

Gelsemium sempervirens is an early nectar source for hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies. The dense growth provides shelter in winter.
