📌 Product Description

Trachelospermum jasminoides, commonly known as Star Jasmine, is a vigorous, evergreen climber prized for its intensely fragrant, star-shaped white flowers that bloom in spring to early summer. The glossy, dark green foliage forms a dense covering, creating a beautiful and functional plant for walls, fences, pergolas, and trellises.

In cooler months, the foliage may develop attractive bronze or reddish tones, adding seasonal interest. Hardy and adaptable, Star Jasmine thrives in South African temperate, coastal, and subtropical gardens, making it a popular choice for both decorative and privacy planting.
