What is Texas Smilax / Jackson Vine?

Texas Smilax / Jackson Vine is a wild-cut wedding greenery vine often referred to as Southern Smilax. It is known for its denser growth and richer, heart-shaped leaves compared to traditional Wild Smilax.

Florists and event designers love it for its natural drape, texture, and ability to create lush installations with an organic, elegant look.

What is the difference between Texas Smilax (Southern Smilax) and Wild Smilax?

Texas Smilax / Jackson Vine (Southern Smilax) is typically denser and fuller, with vibrant heart-shaped foliage that gives a rich, polished look.

Wild Smilax usually has a more irregular, airy, and organic appearance with greater natural variation in the stems and foliage pattern.

Both are excellent for weddings and events, but many designers choose Texas Smilax when they want fuller greenery coverage and a more uniform finish.

How much Texas Smilax / Jackson Vine do I need for a wedding arch?

For a standard wedding arch (approximately 8ft x 8ft), 150ft is usually the best starting point. For a fuller, more dramatic look or larger structures, choose 300ft.

If you're doing a smaller install, partial arch, or asymmetrical design, 80ft may be enough.

Because Texas Smilax is wild-cut, natural variation in vine thickness and density is normal, so ordering a little extra is always a smart choice for event work.

How long does Texas Smilax / Jackson Vine last after delivery?

With proper care, Texas Smilax / Jackson Vine typically lasts around 6 days after delivery.

For best results, keep it in a cooler or cool room away from direct sunlight and heat, and mist it regularly with a spray bottle.

If you're using it for a wedding or event, we recommend receiving it 1–2 days before the event (and 2 days before during off-season months for best conditioning).

Can Texas Smilax / Jackson Vine be shipped overnight?

Yes. We ship Texas Smilax / Jackson Vine via FedEx overnight delivery directly to your door.

For last-minute orders, place your order Monday through Thursday before 8:00 AM EST to qualify for next-day delivery service.

Does Texas Smilax / Jackson Vine have thorns?

No — our Texas Smilax / Jackson Vine comes without thorns, making it easier and safer to handle during wedding and event installations.

How do I care for Texas Smilax / Jackson Vine when it arrives?

Open the box as soon as it arrives and remove the vines from the transit bag. Lay them loosely in a cool area or cooler and mist generously with clean water.

Keep them away from direct sunlight, heat vents, and warm rooms. Since this is a wild-cut product, some natural variation in vine shape and leaf density is expected and part of its organic beauty.

What flowers pair best with Texas Smilax / Jackson Vine for weddings?

Texas Smilax / Jackson Vine pairs beautifully with a wide range of wedding flowers and event florals, especially when you want movement and natural greenery texture.

Popular combinations include:

• Garden roses + Texas Smilax (lush romantic look)
• White peonies + Texas Smilax (classic wedding elegance)
• Ranunculus + Texas Smilax (soft garden-style design)
• Eucalyptus + Texas Smilax (modern organic aesthetic)

Not Sure Which Coverage Option Is Right?

Start with 80ft for smaller installs, 150ft for standard wedding/event applications, and 300ft for larger installations or fuller coverage. If you’re planning a major event setup, it’s always smart to order a bit extra due to natural variation in wild-cut vines.
