Trachelospermum jasminoides

Trachelospermum jasminoides is an evergreen, twining climber grown for its glossy green foliage and highly fragrant, starry white summer flowers. This climber requires a suitable support to establish and grow. Give it a warm, sheltered spot in full sun or light shade and moist but well-drained, moderately fertile soil. Over time it can reach around 9m in height and about 3m in spread across its support, making it ideal for covering walls, fences, arches and pergolas while providing elegant vertical interest.

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.
