Trachelospermum will climb over fences, trellis, walls, arbours and more. Star Jasmine, or Trachelospermum is an attractive woody, evergreen climber with leaves that turn bronze-red in winter. Highly fragrant, soft pink flowers are produced from mid-late summer. It is best grown against a warm, sunny wall and is an excellent plant for adding a touch of scent and high-rise glamour into courtyards or climbing over fences and garden structures in a sunny spot. Especially lovely in warm sunny borders at the foot of a sheltered south-facing wall, this plant will thrive in well drained soils, and is particularly tolerant of hot summer weather where other climbers may flag.

Supplied in approx 2 litre containers, this really is one of the very best fragrant climbers
