Sorry I do not have an answer to the original poster but for cottonwood468 Jasmine has to be an indoor plant in zone 5b.

I planted the jasminum officinale in zone 6b right up next to the south side of my brick house. At one point I didn't think that is was going to make it. There was quite a bit of tips that froze. It has come back nicely this spring. I haven't had the pleasure of any flowers from it yet. I only had 3 days this past winter under 10 degrees, the low for me this winter was 3 degrees.

Star Jasmine will get huge. I've mostly seen them planted along fences. Pink Jasmine won't survive our winters. You'll have to pot it up and bring it in when it gets cold.

Hey Aaron, I hope I am helping, and not upsetting... You state that you are in zone 9 SoCal, but where? Do you have ocean influence, or are you more inland? Do you get frost? How hot in summer? We have grown this vine in zone 9 NoCal. It got burnt in summer with much less sun than yours is going to get, and it died with the first freeze we got. We bought ours in a large planter, already blooming, and it continued for some time, so it wasn't just greenhouse shock that killed it. If you are more coastal, and don't get frost or extreme summer temps for at least 6 hours of afternoon sun per day as you state, you may be fine. Be aware, that this is a twiner, not a tendril climber or aerial rooter. Chicken wire would be okay but probably not great, (not to mention, uuuuuugly). Lattice would be much more attractive, and this is also what we used. It did just fine finding it's way, though it needed a little training at first, as you can imagine. Another option, and much less conspicuous and much cheaper, would be to run aluminum or galvanized wire vertically up the wall, spaced no further than a foot or so apart, though you could certainly put them closer if you desired. For under $100, you could cloak that entire wall, all the way up. If you were cloak the entire wall with lattice, you would be looking at closer to $1,000, if not more. Hope this helped a little... Feel free to email me if you have any other questions you think I could help with. I don't come here that often, so I would not likely see a follow-up question... Happy gardening! Eric
