Yellow (carolina) jessamine DOES smell wonderful OTC, just keep hacking it back and don't let it start twining in your trees.
It always amazes me to go to a nursery and find things I consider "weeds" for $4/gal. Who would actually buy a pine tree.. or wax myrtle?? MY OWN SISTER!
I spend all year ripping out pine, oak, maple saplings, chopping down and digging up jessamine, wild roses, wisteria, liriope (monkey grass) and ivy.
I should open a nursery maybe. Anyone want some wisteria??

hmmmmmm - possibly onto something MJ, I'd take it one step further and list them on EBAY!
Wow.. Selling online! I wonder?! Altho, mid-March is getting a little late in the season to ship live plants... but maybe next fall. I never even thought about Ebaying them.
Tom Cat.. FYI We built a 10ft wide arbor-structure out of 4x4's and and 2x6's and cemented all 4 posts in the ground because our first smaller, less sturdy trellis got destroyed. Those vines are really strong. I dug up most of my purple altho it will be back by next fall. I still have lots of white if you're interested.. pm me.
Growing up in Pennsylvania, honeysuckle was a fun summer plant that smelled pretty and then very dutifully died off when the cool weather hit.
Here, not so much. I have some honeysuckle taking over the hedges in my backyard in West Ashley. I rip it out, it comes back. I tear it out, it comes back. It's a weed that will invade everywhere it can, taking no prisoners only victims as it climbs inexorably across yards, shrubs, fences, trees... heck, I haven't seen the neighborhood stray cat in a while, he might just be trapped in there somewhere.
It is evil, evil, I say!
Think long and hard before you put this in. It's nearly a lifelong committment. Oh, and check with your neighbors, for these Weeds of Satan will happily spread into their yards and choke their shrubs, too. bwahahaha
Sorry for being so dramatic, but you hit a nerve. ;-)
Charleston Horticultural Society presents PLANTASIA:
A Green Market for Plant Lovers
The Charleston Horticultural Society is presenting its annual plant sale, PLANTASIA, on Saturday, April 28, 2007 at the Gaillard Auditorium, front lawn, Calhoun Street, in downtown Charleston, SC. The sale will take place from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon. Rain or Shine. Admission is free.
All proceeds from PLANTASIA benefit the educational programs and other projects of the Charleston Horticultural Society, a non-profit organization.
PLANTASIA will have for sale: tropicals, annuals, perennials, flowering shrubs and much more. All the plants presented will be ready to flower and flourish in one’s own garden. Horticulturally-trained volunteers will be available to help with plant selection as well as to answer questions. There will be a “Real Yard Sale” featuring previously loved garden items and a wide selection of “Member’s Favorites” plants grown and donated by CHS members.
Founded in 2000, The Charleston Horticultural Society is a non-profit organization dedicated to inspiring excellence in lowcountry horticulture. With membership open to all, the organization has grown to 1,100 individual and business members interested in learning about all aspects of horticulture through lectures, a newsletter, educational workshops, tours, and the annual Charleston Garden Festival at Middleton Place, a three day fall festival of lectures, vendors and displays. Charleston Trees, dedicated to ensuring the city’s green spaces are nurtured and expanded, and the Heritage Rose Fund, dedicated to educating the public on the historic contribution of Charleston as the source of the Noisette rose - the first class of rose to be developed in America, are both committees of the Charleston Horticultural Society.
