Trachelospermum asiaticum
Asiatic star jasmine
Notes:
Not recommended north of Sunset zone 32, USDA zone 7, and AHS heat zone 7.
Twining climber (needs support) and generally does not flower unless allowed to climb, unlike T. jasminoides, but forms a more attractive groundcover than that species (and is also hardier). Difficult to under/interplant due to density and vigor.
