Jasmine vines are known for their sweetly scented pink or white flowers. These plants bloom in late winter or spring depending on the variety. Star Jasmine, Asiatic Jasmine, and Arabian Jasmine all share the common name "jasmine" and have twining vines that can cover a structure in fragrant blooms. Several types are shrubby and can be pruned into formal shapes or grown as a lovely ground cover. Plant jasmine vines in containers to add a tropical look to outdoor spaces.
