Trachelospermum jasminoides – Star Jasmine
Trachelospermum jasminoides is a beautiful evergreen climber, highly prized for its glossy foliage and intensely fragrant star-shaped white flowers in summer. The scented blooms are produced in clusters against a backdrop of rich green leaves, making it an excellent choice for walls, fences, arches, and sheltered patio areas where the perfume can be fully enjoyed.
Reaching around 4–8 metres over time with support, this twining climber develops into a dense covering of attractive evergreen foliage that often takes on bronze or reddish tones in colder weather. Its year-round leaf cover makes it valuable for screening and adding structure even when not in flower.
The pure white flowers appear freely through summer and release a strong sweet fragrance, particularly in warm weather and evenings. Trachelospermum jasminoides is ideal for training against sunny walls, growing around doorways, or covering fences where both flowers and scent can be appreciated.
This hardy evergreen climber thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers fertile, well-drained soil in a sheltered position. In colder areas it benefits from protection from harsh winds. Tie in young shoots as they establish, and trim lightly after flowering if needed to maintain shape.
Flowering Period
June – July: Clusters of fragrant white star-shaped flowers begin to open
July – August: Peak flowering with strong scent and abundant blooms
Autumn – Winter: Evergreen foliage provides year-round structure and cover
With its glossy evergreen leaves, beautifully scented flowers, and elegant climbing habit, Trachelospermum jasminoides is an outstanding low-maintenance climber for adding fragrance and year-round interest to the garden.
