Jasminum beesianum, commonly known as Red Jasmine, is a semi-deciduous perennial vine native to the mountainous regions of South-Central China and Tibet, where it thrives in forest margins and scrub areas. It can grow to a height of 10-15 feet (3-4.6 meters) and a width of 6-9 feet (1.8-2.7 meters). This vine is characterized by its slender stems and dark green leaves, which may drop some foliage in cooler climates or during periods of drought. Red Jasmine is notable for its tubular flowers that bloom in late spring to early summer, displaying a progression of colors from yellow to pink and finally to red as they mature, with a modest fragrance that is less intense than that of other jasmine species.

Red Jasmine is valued for its attractive, bicolored flowers and its ability to cover trellises, walls, and fences, providing vertical interest in the garden. It is often used for ornamental purposes in mixed borders or as a focal point when trained on an archway or pergola. While it can tolerate a range of light conditions from full sun to part shade, it prefers well-drained soils and requires only low to medium amounts of water once established, making it relatively low maintenance. However, it may need support to climb effectively and can benefit from pruning to maintain its shape and promote vigorous growth.CC BY-SA 4.0
