Star Jasmine

Star Jasmine

Star Jasmine is a beloved evergreen vine prized for its glossy foliage and intensely fragrant white flowers. In late spring through summer, clusters of pinwheel-shaped blooms cover the plant, releasing a sweet, jasmine-like scent that fills the garden. The dark green leaves provide year-round interest and may develop bronze or reddish tones in cooler weather, adding seasonal color even when not in bloom.

Highly versatile, Star Jasmine can be trained to climb trellises, arbors, fences, and walls, or allowed to sprawl as a dense, flowering groundcover. Its tidy growth habit and ability to tolerate pruning make it suitable for formal designs as well as relaxed, naturalistic landscapes. Once established, it is relatively drought tolerant and performs well in coastal and urban environments. With proper placement and support, Star Jasmine becomes a long-lived, low-maintenance feature that adds fragrance, texture, and elegance to outdoor spaces.

Care Instructions

Planting:
Plant in full sun to partial shade. Full sun promotes best flowering, while light shade is beneficial in hot climates.

Watering:
Water regularly during the first growing season. Once established, water moderately, allowing soil to dry slightly between waterings.

Pruning:
Prune after flowering to control size and shape. Regular trimming encourages dense, healthy growth.

Pest Control:
Generally pest resistant. Occasionally check for scale or aphids and treat with horticultural oil if needed.

Soil Tips:
Prefers well-draining soil rich in organic matter. Avoid heavy, poorly drained soils for optimal growth.
