Trachelospermum jasminoides Frame On Stem / 25L / 190Cm
Trachelospermum jasminoides
Confirmed format: C25 Pot climber • approx. 190cm supplied height
Plant Highlights: Evergreen climbing foliage • Fragrant summer flowers • Trained architectural form • Suitable for sheltered walls and containers
Overview
Trachelospermum jasminoides, commonly known as star jasmine, is a versatile evergreen climber valued for its glossy foliage, fragrant white flowers and ability to bring year-round structure to a garden. Supplied trained on a stem with a frame, this form provides a more established vertical display than a young climbing plant and can be used as a feature plant where height and shape are important. In summer, clusters of small, star-shaped white flowers appear among the dark green leaves, releasing a sweet fragrance in warm conditions. The evergreen foliage helps maintain interest outside the flowering season, making it useful for sheltered walls, entrances, patios and large containers where a permanent framework of greenery is wanted.
Why We Love It
Fragrant summer flowers add seasonal interest. Evergreen foliage provides structure throughout the year. Supplied in a trained frame-on-stem form for immediate shape and impact. Works well against walls, fences or as a container feature. Creates height without needing a large planting footprint.

Growing Guide
| Position | Choose a sheltered position with good light for the best flowering. A sunny wall, warm patio or protected boundary can help this climber perform well, while some light shade is tolerated. Protection from cold winds is particularly useful in exposed Irish gardens. |
|---|---|
| Watering | Water regularly after planting until the roots are established. Once settled, water during prolonged dry periods, paying particular attention to container-grown plants, which can dry out more quickly during warmer weather. |
| Soil | Plant in fertile, well-drained soil. Avoid areas that remain waterlogged during winter, as poor drainage can affect evergreen climbers. |
| Support and Training | Although supplied already trained on a frame, continued guidance may be needed as new growth develops. Tie in suitable stems to maintain the desired shape and prune lightly after flowering if required to keep the plant within its allocated space. |
| Seasonal Care | In colder or exposed locations, choose a sheltered spot and protect the plant from harsh winds where possible. Container-grown specimens may benefit from additional protection around the roots during severe winter weather. |
