Trachelospermum jasminoides 'Pink Showers', commonly known as Star Jasmine, is an elegant evergreen climber grown for its glossy foliage and richly fragrant pink flowers.

During colder weather, the evergreen foliage often develops attractive bronze, red and purple tones, adding further interest through autumn and winter.

Growing Guide

| Watering | Water regularly during the first growing season while the root system establishes. Moderate water need thereafter. |
| Pruning & Training | Prune in February, March, August or September to control size and maintain a neat shape. Tie in young shoots to their support as they develop. |
