 if you are hiding a jasmine that can be overwintered in the ground   I
 would like to know about it. >>

Well - I'm not actually "hiding" it, but I can't promise you that it will 
survive your winter.  I know that in my zone 9 and Pam's (murfsmomma) zone 8 
that it remains an evergreen.  Pam is only 45 minutes north of me but can 
receive as much as a 10 degree difference when the winter storms come our 
way.  I will say that these jasmine have taken one of our "hard" winters with 
no protection other than what the house provides.  And I will say that they 
grow beautifully in the summer with shady conditions.  Maybe it will take a 
winter for you if is sheltered by trees or your home but I won't promise 
anything.  The pink jasmine only blooms once a year but is well worth it 
because of the sweet fragrance.  I've had it bloom all the way through the 
month of April (when we had a cool spring).

If you find it and it's not over $8 for a gallon, I would say it would be 
worth a try.

Happy Gardening
