Chinese Star Jasmine - Trachelospermum jasminoides Jessamine

Trachelospermum jasminoides, also known as Star Jasmine, is one of the most versatile and beloved evergreen climbers in Australia. It produces masses of small, star-shaped white flowers that release a delightful fragrance through the warmer months. With its glossy dark green leaves and moderate growth rate, it’s ideal for covering fences, pergolas, and trellises or for use as dense groundcover. Perfectly suited to Melbourne’s temperate climate, this low maintenance climber delivers year round beauty and fragrance.

Key Features:

• Soil: Prefers well-drained loam or sandy soil; tolerates most soil types.
• Light: Full sun to shade; flowers best in bright conditions.
• Watering: Moderate; keep soil moist during establishment, then water as needed.
• Fertiliser: Apply slow-release fertiliser in spring for healthy foliage and flowering.
• Maintenance: Prune after flowering to control size and promote new growth.
• Flowering: Small, white, fragrant flowers appear in spring and summer.

For maximum coverage and fragrance, plant in full sun and allow adequate space for twining growth.
