Trachelosperum j. japonicum trelli

Trachelospermum jasminoides is a twining, evergreen climber valued for its glossy, dark green foliage and richly scented, star-shaped white flowers in summer. Ideal for training against walls, fences, arches or pergolas, it thrives in sun or light shade in a warm, sheltered position. This climber requires a suitable support to establish and grow. Given time, it can reach around 8m in height and approximately 4m in spread across a suitable support.

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.
