We need Asiatic Jasmine for 1000 square feet of ground cover. What is the most economical way for our family to accomplish that? Thank you.
The most economical way to cover 1,000 square feet with Asiatic Jasmine (Trachelospermum asiaticum) is:
- Use Plugs Instead of Pots – Buy 2.5-inch plugs, which are cheaper and spread quickly.
- Space Plugs 12 Inches Apart – This reduces the number of plants needed while ensuring full coverage in 6-12 months.
- You’ll need about 1,000 plugs (1 per sq. ft.) for fast coverage or 500 plugs (1 per 2 sq. ft.) for a budget-friendly option.
- Buy in Bulk – Wholesale nurseries or online bulk orders offer discounts.
- DIY Planting & Mulching – Save on labor costs by planting yourself and using mulch to suppress weeds while the plants establish.
- Water & Fertilize for Faster Growth – Regular watering and a balanced fertilizer promote quicker spreading.

Asian Jasmine (Trachelospermum asiaticum) is deer and rabbit resistant, but groundhogs may still nibble on it. It is not hardy in Zone 6 (typically hardy to Zone 7-10) and may not survive winter outdoors. For Zone 6, consider winter protection or an alternative like Vinca minor or Pachysandra terminalis.

I want a small vining flowering plant to place inside right next to a window in a long rectangular pot with two other plants that are climbing on a small fence-type rack.
Asian jasmine can be a great choice for an indoor vining plant next to a window, but it typically doesn't produce a lot of flowers indoors. It's more known for its lush, green foliage and ability to climb structures, like your small fence-type rack. If you're specifically looking for a flowering plant, you might consider other indoor-friendly flowering vines like hoya or jasmine varieties bred for indoor conditions. However, Asian jasmine will still provide a beautiful green backdrop and is fairly low-maintenance. Just ensure it gets bright, indirect light for best results.

Yes, the Asian Jasmine plant (Trachelospermum asiaticum) produces highly fragrant flowers.

When should I plant my Asian jasmine
The best time to plant Asian Jasmine is during the spring or early fall. Planting in the spring allows the roots to establish before the summer heat, while planting in early fall gives the plant time to settle in cooler temperatures. In USDA zones 7-10, where Asian Jasmine thrives, avoid planting during extreme heat or frost periods. Ensure the soil is well-draining, and the plant gets full sun to partial shade for optimal growth.
