'''''Jasminum polyanthum''''', also known as '''Pink Jasmine''' (or White Jasmine), is an evergreen twining [[vine|climber]] from [[China]]. It produces an abundance of reddish-pink flower buds in late winter and early spring, followed by fragrant five-petalled star-like white flowers which are about 2cm in diameter. It has compound leaves with 5 to 7 leaflets which are dark green on the upper surface and a lighter green on the lower surface. The terminal leaflet is noticeably larger than the other leaflets. The plant is very vigorous and can grow up to 6 metres in height when supported. Depending on the climate, this vine has a semi-deciduous to evergreen foliage. ''Jasminum polyanthum'' is well-known as a house plant in the USA and Europe. It can also grow in the garden, when climate conditions are good. [[Hardiness zone|USDA hardiness zones]]: 8 - 11.
