Overview
Trachelospermum jasminoides, commonly known as Star Jasmine, is an elegant evergreen climber prized for its richly scented, star-shaped white flowers and glossy dark green foliage. Flowering from early to late summer, the blooms fill the surrounding area with a sweet fragrance, making this an excellent choice for planting close to patios, seating areas and entrances. The leathery evergreen leaves provide year-round coverage and often develop attractive bronze and reddish tones during colder weather, adding seasonal interest long after flowering has finished. Its twining stems naturally climb supports, creating a dense, evergreen screen that suits both traditional and contemporary gardens.
Why We Love It
Star Jasmine brings together year-round evergreen beauty, striking bronze winter foliage, and a lush summer display of intensely sweet fragrance. Supplied at approximately 210 cm, it gives immediate impact against warm garden walls or sheltered trellises.
