Trachelospermum jasminoides - Chinese star jasmine

Star Jasmine is a beautiful evergreen climber renowned for its sweetly fragrant white star-shaped flowers that bloom profusely in spring and summer. This versatile plant features glossy dark green foliage that provides year-round interest and can be trained as a climber on fences, trellises, or walls, or used as a dense ground cover.

Thriving in both full sun and partial shade, Star Jasmine is remarkably adaptable and performs well in east-facing and south-facing areas. Once established, it's moderately drought-tolerant and frost-hardy, making it an excellent choice for cold climate gardens. The intoxicating fragrance makes it perfect for planting near outdoor living areas, pathways, or windows where you can enjoy the scent.

This low-maintenance climber grows to approximately 2-3 metres in height with a spread of 2-3 metres, though it can be easily pruned to maintain a smaller size. Star Jasmine also attracts beneficial pollinators to your garden.
