Jasminum nudiflorum
winter jasmine
 
Jasminum nudiflorum is also known as winter jasmine, or yellow jasmine. It is a shrub with slender stems, that can reach 12 ft (4 m) tall and sometimes more, provided it is trained on a treillis or a wall. Unlike most jasmines, its yellow flowers are not scented. However, it is an ornamental plant that blooms in winter and early spring.
This jasmine is very frost hardy, as it will withstand cold temperatures down to about 5°F to -5°F (about -15°C to -20°C). It thus can be grown in USDA zones 6 and warmer. There are a few cultivar of interest, including:
  • 'Mystique' - (syn. 'Argenteum') With a variegated foliage. (Green and cream-white)
  • 'Aureum' - With a golden-green foliage.
 
This plant has opposite, trifoliate and decidious leaves. Even in winter, it has an ornamental aspect, thanks to its deep green stems (and of course to its flowers).
This jasmine profusely blooms in winter and early spring. Flowers are 1 - 1.5 in (2.5 - 4 cm) across and are bright-yellow. They are not scented.
