Trachelospermum 'Star of Venice' is also called star jasmine because of its white, star-shaped flowers. It is a Mediterranean evergreen climber and Hardy to -10°C. The exuberant flowering period is from the beginning of June to the end of August, during which time the flowers spread a deliciously sweet fragrance. The climber has oval, dark green leaves and needs support from a climbing frame or fence to grow well. The new branches of this star jasmine will curl up nicely along a wire mesh or fence. The best place is in the sun to partial shade and out of the wind. Star jasmine can be planted in the open ground in normal, nutrient-rich soil. Star jasmine also grows well in a large pot on the terrace or balcony.
