A superb cream-coloured jasmine, with large flowers and a strong fragrance. This versatile, deciduous climber thrives in a sheltered, sunny, well-drained site, and can cope with dry conditions. A quick grower, 'Starry Starry Summer Scent' is ideal for covering a large south or west-facing wall or an unsightly garden building. Choose a spot close to a house entrance or well-used path to best appreciate the scented blooms. In small gardens, it's best planted in a pot and trained up a trellis or wall. - Garden care: Plant Jasminum in a warm, sunny and sheltered location which helps to bring out the sweet fragrance of the flowers. If the soil is well-drained, it will cope with partial shade and colder positions, though it may suffer from frost damage in colder winters. When planting, add some soil conditioner (well-rotted compost) to the planting hole and some mycorrhizal fungi to aid root establishment. Grow Jasminum against appropriate support such as trellis or wires attached to walls and fences. Tie the shoots into their support as they grow.
