Overview
Trachelospermum jasminoides, commonly known as Star Jasmine, is an elegant evergreen climber grown for its glossy foliage and richly fragrant white flowers. From summer into early autumn, clusters of star-shaped blooms are produced against deep green leaves, filling the surrounding area with a sweet perfume. This self-twining climber is ideal for training over trellises, pergolas, fences and warm walls, providing year-round structure and seasonal colour. During colder weather, the evergreen foliage often develops attractive bronze and reddish tones, adding further interest through autumn and winter.
Why We Love It
Star Jasmine combines lush evergreen foliage with an abundance of sweetly scented star-shaped flowers, creating a classic choice for sunny walls, sheltered patios and fragrant garden borders.

Growing Guide
| Planting & Position | Plant in fertile, well-drained soil in a sunny or partially shaded position. A warm, sheltered site, particularly against a south- or west-facing wall, encourages the best flowering and protects the plant from cold, drying winds. |
|---|---|
| Watering & Feeding | Water regularly during the first growing season while the root system establishes. Once established, it requires little additional watering except during prolonged dry periods. Apply a balanced fertiliser in spring and mulch with organic matter to help retain soil moisture. |
| Pruning & Training | Prune after flowering to control size and maintain a neat shape. Tie in young shoots to their support as they develop, removing any damaged or overcrowded stems as required. |
| Wildlife Value | The fragrant flowers are attractive to bees and other pollinating insects during the flowering season. |
