Star Jasmine

Trachelospermum jasminoides, also known as star jasmine or Confederate jasmine, is a versatile and fragrant evergreen vine that can be trained as a climbing shrub or allowed to cascade as a groundcover.

With its glossy, dark green leaves and stunning clusters of white, star-shaped flowers that bloom in spring and summer, it adds beauty and fragrance to any garden.

Ideal for the Western Cape’s Mediterranean climate, it thrives in full sun to partial shade and is well-suited to coastal conditions, handling salt exposure with ease.

While it is not particularly frost-tolerant and should be protected from harsh winter temperatures, it is moderately wind-resistant and makes an excellent choice for screening or covering fences, walls, and trellises.

Its ability to thrive in well-drained soils and provide lush, fragrant flowers throughout the warmer months makes it an excellent low-maintenance addition for gardens looking for beauty and fragrance.
