Chilean jasmine is a moderately fast-growing vine reaching 12 feet (3.65 meters) in both height and width with the appropriate support structure. This semi-deciduous plant features slender stems and a succulent caudex buried underground. The bright green, glossy leaves have an elongated, tapering point and can grow up to 6 inches (15 cm) long. During the summer, chilean jasmine produces an abundance of white, tubular flowers that bloom 2 inches (5 cm) long and flare out to 2.5 inches (6.35 cm) wide. These flowers emit a subtle fragrance reminiscent of vanilla, particularly noticeable in the evenings. Following the flowering period, long bean-like fruit pods develop.
