Pink Jasmine - Jasminum polyanthum

Jasminum polyanthum, commonly known as Pink Jasmine, is a fast-growing evergreen climber celebrated for its profuse, sweetly scented flowers. From late winter through spring, clusters of pink buds open into starry white blooms that fill the air with fragrance. This vigorous climber quickly covers fences, trellises, and pergolas with lush green foliage and seasonal colour.

Ideal for Melbourne’s temperate climate, it thrives in full sun to part shade and tolerates light frost once established. Its rapid growth and intoxicating scent make it a favourite for gardeners seeking fast coverage and sensory appeal.

Key Features:

• Soil: Prefers well drained, fertile soil enriched with organic matter.
• Light: Full sun to semi shade; more flowers in sunnier spots.
• Watering: Keep moist during dry periods; once established, water moderately.
• Fertiliser: Feed annually in spring with a slow release fertiliser for flowering plants.
• Maintenance: Prune after flowering to control size and encourage new shoots.
• Flowering: Late winter to spring. Pink buds with highly fragrant white flowers.

For best results, prune after flowering to encourage compact growth and repeat blooming the following season.
