Yellow jessamine has been used by herbalists to treat eye ailments and as natural, perfumed hair oil. All parts of the Yellow jessamine plant are extremely poisonous, especially to livestock, if eaten; however, the bright Yellow jessamine spring blossoms are a source of nectar for butterflies and deer often browse on the vegetation for food and fiber. The Yellow Jessamine fruit is an oblong capsule, about 1 inch long that splits apart to release flat, winged seeds. The capsules usually ripen from October to June.
