Gelsemium sempervirens is the Botanical name for the Yellow Jessamine. This is an attractive climbing plant with a twining habit which means the stems twine around objects so the plant can reach higher. It is an evergreen best suited for temperate and warmer climates, and has masses of small yellow flowers in Spring, which look great against the glossy deep green leaves, and the flowers have a lovely fragrance. Yellow Jessamine is also the state flower of South Carolina in the USA. The nectar from the flowers attracts birds and other pollinators, but all parts of the plant are toxic to humans.

You can grow this plant on a trellis or pergola for privacy, or to hide a wall, or also in pots ,with a support in place for the plant. Plant it in a sunny spot for the best flower display, and it will grow quite quickly. This plant was growing in a Sydney garden where it enjoyed the heat from a brick wall.

Yellow jessamine is a climbing vine that is native to the southeastern United States. It is known by several names, including Carolina jessamine, poor man's rope, or yellow jasmin. It has also been known as "The Pride of Augusta," because it is found abundantly near Augusta, Georgia. Yellow jessamine is the state flower of South Carolina and it appears on that state's quarter along with the Carolina wren and the cabbage palmetto.

Yellow jessamine is particularly noticeable because it has showy, yellow flowers that appear in late winter or early spring when few other plants are in bloom. In some strains of the plant, the flowers are very fragrant and send a sweet, prevailing scent through the wintery woods.

Yellow jessamine (Gelsemium sempervirens) became our official state flower in March 14,1924. Because it is native to our state, it is also called Carolina jessamine. Other names include trumpet vine, evening trumpet flower, and both yellow jasmine and Carolina Jasmine. (Jessamine and jasmine are two variations of the same word, and both are acceptable and accurate names for this plant. Here we refer to it as jessamine since that is how it is spelled in Joint Resolution No. 534, which established the flower as an emblem of South Carolina nearly a century ago.)

Jessamine is an evergreen vine that climbs trees, fences, and latticework all over our state. It blooms in very late winter or early spring, offering the first hope of warm weather to come! This flower loves sun and can grow quite fast given plenty of space and moist, well-drained soil.

Actually, it's not really a Jasmine, although "Jessamine" is close to it, and it is fragrant like a Jasmine too.

LOL. This just shows how the mind refused to see the fact tughtbin front and preferred to translate according to what’s familiar!
Yes, I did see Jessamine but I thought it was just another name for common jasmine with yellow colour! Nice to know that the flowers has the same jasmine fragrance.
