Angel Wing Jasmine
Jasminum nitidum
Angel Wing Jasmine, often sold as 'Shining Jasmine' or 'Angel Wing', is a stunning evergreen climber or sprawling shrub prized for its large, glossy foliage and unique, fragrant flowers. Its blooms are star-shaped with very long, slender, pure white petals that form a pinwheel shape, set against a dark purple or wine-red throat. It flowers profusely in spring and summer, prefers warmth, and is less cold-hardy than Star Jasmine, making it perfect for sheltered, sunny locations in Zone 9a.
