It was a very hot and humid day on June 26, 2025 but two members of the Thomas Jefferson Stubbs 2523 Conroe Chapter of the Texas Division, United Daughters of the Confederacy, braved the heat and decided it was time to plant some Confederate Jasmine, those members were Carolyn Jamail and Jackie Barkmann.
Ms. Barkmann had propagated some cuttings from her large flower vine arbor. Ms. Jamail needed a pretty flowering plant in her front, so the two ladies, got busy planting. Wanting to carry on the traditional aromatic smell of southern gardens these small cuttings were placed in an outdoor urn in the front yard of Mrs. Jamail’s house.
The Confederate Jasmine is also known as Star Jasmine, as the white flower looks alot like a star. As the Confederate Jasmine beautiful flowers bloom in April, there is a strong and pleasantly sweet fragrance that fills the air. This plant is native to Asia and is a popular choice for gardens, because of the fragrance and the gloss ygreen foliage.
