Chinese Star Jasmine 140MM

Trachelospermum jasminoides

I am Chinese Star Jasmine. My family originated from Asia.

Habit Climber - Fragrant Flowers

Plant family Apocynaceae

I am an evergreen climber maintaining my bushy lush green foliage from ground level making me the ideal vine to cover walls, pillars, arches and fences. I can turn the unsightly into a delight. I am a compact ground cover when not provided with a structure to climb. I cover myself in masses of star shaped and wonderfully perfumed white flowers in delicate clusters from early summer into autumn. Adaptable I thrive and will flower prolifically in full sun to heavy shade. I do well in a range of soils but dislike having wet feet. I respond well to pruning and can be maintained in formal shapes on the right structures.

I am popular and will make you happy because...

I produce white clusters of highly fragrant flowers from late spring to autumn

I am suitable as a groundcover, low shrub or on embankments

I am a well behaved climber for pillars, pergolas, arches or fences
