Asiatic jasmine 140MM

Trachelospermum asiaticum

I am Asiatic jasmine. My family originated from Asia.

Habit Groundcover - Fragrant Flowers
Plant family Apocynaceae
I am a dense climbing/twining plant producing a profusion of small white/cream fragrant star shaped flowers in spring and summer which pop against my lush shiny dark green foliage. I will mound to form a small shrub but I can also make a great dense ground cover that will outcompete weeds once established. As a climber I can be trained for a formal presentation. I am less vigorous than many other jasmines making me a better choice for smaller gardens or where less maintenance is desired.
I am popular and will make you happy because...
I am completely covered in highly fragrant white star shaped blooms from late spring through summer
With less vigour than many climbers I am a great choice for pillars, pergolas, arches or fences
I make an excellent ground cover, perfect to cascade down embankments and retaining walls
