Swamp Jessamine is a trailing native semi-evergreen climbing vine that can also be a groundcover. The smooth dark green leaves are spotted by long-lasting bright yellow trumpet-shaped flowers that blooms first throughout spring and again in fall. Prefers full sun and moist to wet well-drained acidic soils. All parts of the plant are highly toxic if ingested.
