Trachelospermum jasminoides

Trachelospermum jasminoides is an elegant, twining evergreen climber valued for its glossy dark green foliage, which often develops a bronze tint in colder weather, and its strongly fragrant, star-shaped white flowers in mid to late summer. Ideal for training on warm, sheltered walls, fences, arches or pergolas, and also suitable for a large container, it performs best in fertile, well‑drained soil in full sun or light shade. This climber requires a suitable support to establish and grow. Over time it can reach around 6–8m in height and spread approximately 3–4m across a support. Awarded the RHS Award of Garden Merit for reliable garden performance.

This climbing plant has been trained onto a supporting frame to create a neat, well-shaped specimen that is ready for planting. As it grows, new shoots can be guided and secured to continue developing its natural shape.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
