Elegant, evergreen, and oh-so-fragrant—star jasmine brings more than just good looks to the garden. This versatile climber produces masses of white starry flowers through the warmer months, releasing a sweet, head-turning perfume that lingers on the breeze. Hardy, water-wise once established, and generous with its coverage, it’s a garden essential for structure, scent, and softness.

Equally happy climbing a trellis, cascading over walls, or weaving along fences, Trachelospermum jasminoides is a true shapeshifter. Its lush green foliage creates year-round coverage, and with pruning, it can even be used as a tidy groundcover or low hedge. A beautifully controlled grower with stunning results—this is a plant that earns its keep.
