Star Jasmine bears masses of beautifully scented white flowers on slender trailing or climbing stems from early spring to mid-summer. Dark green glossy foliage adds to the beauty of this non-invasive climber.
Uses
Star Jasmine is an ideal climber for trellises or wires, with tendril-like growth that winds and twines around supports. Β It can also be mass planted as a ground cover, where regular trimming helps it form dense, dark green foliage beds, ideal for under trees and along borders.
Plant Care
A trim in late winter and again after flowering is all that is needed to keep this plant in shape. Β Trachelospermum will grow happily in sun or shade in most soil conditions. Water well over dry summer months. An early spring application of a good organic fertiliser will keep the foliage lush and help prolong the flowering period.
