An attractive woody, evergreen climber with rich, dark green leaves which often turn bronze in winter. Unlike its well-established and much-loved relative, its flowers are yellow (from creamy to buttery), but they still have the same sweet perfume. These appear in clusters over a long period from summer to autumn. Happiest grown against a warm, sunny wall in milder areas, it is said to be hardy to -10C, but in areas prone to severe frosts it will need winter protection.


  • Garden care:
    Ideally suited to south-facing walls and fences in warm, sheltered gardens, the twining stems of star jasmine can be trained onto sturdy supports including wires, trellis or freestanding climbing frames. Alternatively, consider planting into a large patio pot filled with loam-based compost, facilitating easy relocation to a sheltered spot during the cooler months. In regions that experience prolonged or severe frost, grow under the protection of a spacious, cool greenhouse or conservatory. Requiring little maintenance, a gentle trim in February or March will help keep its size within bounds.
