Trachelospermum jasminoides, known as Star Jasmine, is a sought-after evergreen climber prized for its twining stems and intensely fragrant, star-shaped white flowers. Originating from East Asia, this elegant climber brings both beauty and structure to UK gardens—perfect for covering fences, trellises, or archways.

Why Choose Trachelospermum jasminoides?

• Sensory Appeal: The sweet scent of its midsummer blooms fills patios and seating areas with a delightful fragrance.

• Generous Growth: With a mature height of up to 9m (29') and a spread of 3m (9'), this climber delivers impressive coverage—ideal for screening or creating a lush backdrop.

Planting & Care Guide

• Position: Prefers full sun but tolerates partial shade. Choose a sheltered spot for best flowering.
• Soil: Grows well in moist but well-drained soil; neutral to slightly acidic pH is ideal.
• Hardiness: Hardy throughout most of the UK (RHS H4), though young plants benefit from winter protection in colder areas.
• Watering: Water regularly during the first growing season; established plants are drought tolerant.
• Pruning: Prune after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or damaged stems in late winter or early spring.
• Feeding: Apply a balanced fertiliser in spring to support healthy growth and abundant blooms.

Design Ideas & Companion Plants

• Star Jasmine is perfect for training over pergolas, arches, or along sunny walls where its fragrance can be enjoyed up close.
