Star Jasmine Climber

The Trachelospermum jasminoides is a versatile, evergreen climber beloved for its dark, glossy, leathery leaves and profusion of star-shaped, intensely fragrant white flowers that bloom in summer. It is the ultimate choice for covering walls, fences, or pergolas with a dense, lush screen. As it grows, it becomes a self-twining woody climber that provides year-round interest and a heavenly scent that can fill an entire patio area during the warmer months.

Size (H × W)

3 meters cm

Sunlight

Full Sun to Partial Shade. To encourage the most prolific flowering, a warm, sunny, sheltered spot is ideal. It will grow well in partial shade, though the flowering may be slightly less intense.

Watering

Moderate. Once established, it is fairly resilient, but it performs best when watered regularly during the growing season. If kept in a container, ensure the soil doesn't dry out completely, as this can cause the leaves to lose their luster.

Soil & Drainage

Thrives in fertile, well-drained, but moisture-retentive soil. It is adaptable to most soil types. If planting in a pot, use a good-quality, free-draining loam-based compost to ensure the roots stay healthy and don't become waterlogged
