Trachelospermum jasminoides

confederate jasmine trellis

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

Native to Southeast Asia, Confederate Jasmine is one of the most fragrant plants you can grow — just a few blooms can fill an entire patio or garden with sweet scent. This trellis-trained version comes ready to climb, with its twining stems already growing up a decorative support for an instant vertical display. Its glossy green leaves and clusters of pinwheel-shaped white flowers bloom from late spring into summer, filling the air with fragrance the whole season.

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. Guide new stems onto the trellis as they grow to keep the shape full and even, and pinch the tips occasionally to encourage bushier growth. Prune lightly after flowering to control size and keep the plant looking neat. Clean your pruning tools afterward, since the sap can be sticky.
