Orange Peel Jessamine

Orange Peel Jessamine is a fast growing, heat-loving flowering shrub prized for its vibrant clusters of trumpet-shaped orange blooms that appear from spring through fall. Its lush green foliage and nonstop color make it ideal for tropical-themed gardens, pollinator-beds, or sunny borders. Exceptionally attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds, this low maintenance shrub brings bold color and energy to warm-climate landscapes. Despite its name, it is not a true jessamine, but offers similar ornamental appeal with even brighter color.
