Seed Collecting: Let the seed pods dry out a bit on the plant. Then you can open them to collect the seeds. Hope this helps.

Grow from a Seed

Step 1

Prepare your seeds. Purchase a packet of Carolina jessamine seeds from your local nursery. Soak them in water overnight.

Step 2

Plant your seeds in individual cups filled with garden soil. Be sure to plant the seeds in late winter if you want to transplant to your garden in the spring. Make sure there are holes in the bottom of the cups for water drainage.

Step 3

Water regularly and make sure they get plenty of sunlight. Put them in a windowsill for excellent light exposure.

Step 4

Acclimate your plants to the outdoors before you transplant them into your garden. Set them outdoors for a few hours everyday, increasing the time each day for a week.

Step 5

Transplant to your yard when the vines reach 6 to 8 inches in length.
Plant Your Carolina Jessamine

Step 1

Purchase your Carolina jessamine from a local nursery if you did not grow one from seed. Look for one that has healthy green leaves and is already blooming. If you cannot find one at a local nursery, look for an online nursery that will ship one to you.

Step 2

Choose where to put your vine. Full sun is best, although it will bloom in the shade as well. Carolina jessamine is a climbing vine, so plant it next to a fence, trellis, arbor or even a mailbox. You also can use it as ground cover.

Step 3

Plant your Carolina jessamine by digging a hole 6 to 8 inches deep depending on the size of your vine. Fill the hole with garden soil and be sure that the roots are completely covered.
