Star Jasmine, Confederate Jasmine, Maile Haole

• Star Jasmine is one of the most versatile of all small evergreen vines. Its glossy leaves, tidy habit, and fragrant flowers make it a good choice for a variety of garden situations, either as a climber (it\'s a good plant for growing on a trellis) or as a ground cover. This is a tough, easy to grow, low-maintenance plant that is useful even in difficult situations.

Lagerstroemia spp
Crape Myrtle

• It wasn\'t too long ago that the colorful Crape Myrtle trees so popular in the South weren\'t recommended for the mild coastal Southern California climates because they had bad problems with powdery mildew there and in general did not bloom well. But there are now a number of new modern hybrid Crape Myrtles that are much more vigorous, better foliaged, stronger flowering, and very mildew resistant. Now gardeners all along the Southern California coast can enjoy these beautiful small trees which light up the summer with their bright pink, red, lavender, purple, and white frilly flowers. And if you live just a few miles inland, you\'ll even get nice fall color!
