Trachelospermum jasminoides

confederate jasmine staked

Also known as: Star Jasmine, Chinese Star Jasmine, Confederate Jasmine

Confederate Jasmine Staked is a beautifully fragrant climbing plant known for its glossy green leaves and clusters of white, pinwheel shaped flowers. Native to Southeast Asia, this flowering jasmine vine is trained on a support to create a tidy vertical shape that is ready to display in patio containers, entryways, porches, and sunny garden spaces. It blooms heavily from late spring into summer, filling the air with its sweet fragrance while adding fresh greenery and soft white color. Confederate Jasmine grows best in bright light and warm temperatures and can continue climbing as it matures.

care

Plant in fertile, well-drained soil in a spot with full sun to part shade. Water regularly after planting until established, then water deeply as needed going forward.

Prune lightly after flowering to control size and keep the plant looking tidy. Clean your pruning tools afterward, since the sap can be sticky.
