Madagascar jasmine exhibits a robust climbing habit, with potential to reach 15 to 20 feet (4.5 to 6 meters) in height and width. It is adorned with oval-shaped, shiny, dark green leaves that are leathery to the touch and typically measure 3 to 4 inches (7.5 to 10 centimeters) in length. These leaves are presented in opposite pairs along the vine. Notably, madagascar jasmine produces clusters of fragrant, pure white, trumpet-shaped flowers, which are waxy in appearance and bloom predominantly in late spring and late summer into fall. These blossoms can occasionally give rise to large, leathery seed pods bearing white plumed seeds.
