Trachelospermum jas. P19

Trachelospermum jasminoides is a richly scented, evergreen, twining climber valued for its glossy green foliage and abundant starry white summer flowers. Best trained against a warm, sheltered wall, arch or pergola, it thrives in sun or light shade on fertile, well-drained soil. This climber requires a suitable support to establish and grow. Ultimately, expect around 8m in height with a spread of about 4m when mature, making it ideal for covering structures and bringing perfume to seating areas.

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.
