Jasminum mesnyi (primrose jasmine) is a species of flowering plant in the family Oleaceae, native to south western China. It is a scrambling evergreen shrub growing to 3 m (10 ft) tall by 1–2 m (3–7 ft) wide, with fragrant yellow semi-double flowers in spring and summer. It is not frost-hardy. With suitable support it can be grown as a slender climber, though in confined spaces it will require regular pruning.[1][2]
This plant has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[3]
