Can this jasmine vine grow in Maryland?

Best possible answer is maybe. Much of Maryland was reclassified from Zone 6 into Zone 7a a few years ago. The recommended USDA Zone Range for the Confederate Jasmine is 7 to 11. So probably, we would suggest starting out with a large size plant. You can purchase a starter and let it grow in a pot for a couple of seasons before planting it in the ground. Then plant early in the season and mulch it heavily well ahead of the first freeze. When growing any plant at the edge of the recommended range, you should always be aware that it might in a severe winter, but the chance is just as great that you would have years of enjoyment before that happened if ever. ~ Emerald Goddess Gardens Best possible answer is maybe.

The Confederate Jasmine is only cold hardy for outdoor planting in zone 8 to 10.

I can't go by experience since my passiflora in their first year have only grown a luxurious vine but not flowered. I have heard however that they have a pleasant scent. Here is a site that lists other fragrant passiflora. http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/load/passiflora/msg10234812786.html?9

If i am not wrong, isn't whole of Georgia more of a subtropic with mild winters ? this is a hardy vine, it does not need chilling/freezing hours either, it can very well establish as an evergreen vine, I have grown it in climates without chill. But make sure it does not get hot, it cannot take warmer climates ( anything above 90 F would be an alarm for me ) So answer is yes, if the summer gets too hot in there, then put the plan somewhere where it gets full winter sun but only partial summer sun ( like morning time only .. etc ) Oh also, without decisive winter, fruiting takes a bit of hit, but it does still fruit . hope this helps !!

In my opinion, it will takes years of growth for the flowers to smell upon walking up to the vines. I've only had them planted one summer, but I have smelled a huge quantity of this vine at once, and it is a *beautiful* smell. Just don't expect it for another 2-4 years, I would expect.

Sorry I never have a chance to plant it... I bought it as a gift. But it smells really good :)

I don't know how this plant will grow in the northeast, I am in Texas. Here it grows very nice.

I do not know, I just bought mine and planted Carolina Jasmine and English Ivy to weave together.

I probably wouldn't suggest that. I believe these are to grow outdoors since they are vines.

I had a jasmine plant once. I kept it in a backyard pond with only the bottom inch or two of the pot under the surface of the water perched on a rock. I didn't feed it anything (because I didn't want to pollute the pond water), and the jasmine bloomed profusely all summer long. No room to bring it inside for winter, so I had to let it die, but it was magnificent all summer with no fertilizer.

Yes, and attractive too. I have tomatoes growing in it this year, but it would work well for flowering vines as well.

I live in north Mississippi. Any thing grows here. Try it. It can't hurt and you will enjoy watching them grow. Good luck.

I have planted them, about 7-8 weeks ago. And disappointedly to this day only 9 have grown!!!! I love those plants, when I lived in Md., I had a huge pot of them, but since my mother passed away, my brothers have thrown everything we owned away, cause my father could not afford house in Md anymore! If you want I will send you a picture of what grew. My mother loved these, thatswhy I ordered them, there is not one nursery in Myrtle Beach, SC that sell them!

Depends on where you live. I live in Ky and I can get it to grow spring and fall

It's a vine, and it grows as tall as it can in a season. I've heard up to 50 feet in warmer climates than mine (MN). Ours is potted, so we chop it off, and bring it in in the winter, and it does great.

Sorry, but I do not know. I am near Albany, NY, where we have cold winters. I bought my plant in late Summer and it grew tremendously. However, we brought it in the house for the first winter to give it a chance to develop a little more before we try leaving it out all year. Once we plant it outside, we plan to plant it near the house on the south facing side to give it the best chance of survival.

I live in Florida, so it grows all year round. The green version of this plant is called a shamrock plant. I have seen this as an indoor plant in New Jersey in April. I would look on line for a landscaping company and check with them.

from what i've read, the fragrance increases with age in all honeysuckles. mine haven't flowered yet, so i'm unsure.what i do know is many supossedly fragrant jasmines i've purchased have no scent. i think the fault lies with the growers.
