Trachelospermum jasminoides
Star Jasmine
From: £29.95
Our star climber, the Star Jasmine is a twining evergreen which bears glossy green foliage, sometimes tinged purple in cold weather.
Trachelospermum jasminoides produces exquisitely perfumed white flowers which appear for long periods in summer.
Plant Biography
All Trachelospermum are native to South and East Asia. The generic name was created from the Greek words for ‘neck seed’, in reference to the shape of the plants’ seeds. Jasminoides means ‘looks like jasmine,’ as despite its very similar flowers and fragrance this plant is not actually related to the true jasmine species.
It is sometimes called ‘Trader’s Compass’ from an interesting old belief in Uzbekistan that the plant directed traders of good character in the right direction.
Expert Tip
Care & Size Guidance
This climber likes well drained soils, and can even grow well in a large trough or pot if watered well in the warmer months. You will need to provide wires or trellis for it to clamber up.

I have ordered lots of these over the past few years and they arrive in beautiful condition — always glossy leaves and a generous size. They have hidden lots of ugly areas of my garden with their fast growth — and the flowers smell gorgeous.

The three plants arrived in well packed upright boxes. They are really healthy, tall with lots of new growth. Im delighted. Have watered as instructed and they are enjoying a shower in this garden-friendly rainy weather.
Would certainly buy from Palm Centre again.
