Star Jasmine — Evergreen Flowering Vine

from $14.95

A glossy evergreen screen that smells like summer.

Star jasmine keeps its dark, glossy leaves all year and covers itself in white, star-shaped flowers in late spring. The fragrance carries across a patio. It twines up fences, trellises and arbors to make a dense, fine-textured green wall, and it handles more shade than most flowering vines.

About Star Jasmine

  • Botanical name: Trachelospermum jasminoides (also called Confederate jasmine)

  • Type: evergreen twining vine

  • Light: full sun to part shade. It keeps its leaves in shade, but flowers less there.

  • Hardiness: zones 8–10

  • Climbs by: twining, so it needs a fence, trellis, wire or arbor to wrap around

  • Height: 10–20 ft on support, easy to keep smaller with trimming

  • Blooms: fragrant white flowers in late spring to early summer

  • Origin: East Asia (not native)

‍ ‍

Where to Plant It

  • Fences and trellises in sun or part shade, for a green wall that stays green all winter

  • Patios, porches and arbors, where you’ll catch the fragrance

  • Shady fence lines, beside or in place of a vine that needs more sun

‍ ‍

First-Year Care

  • Plant at the base of the support and wrap the first shoots around it.

  • Water deeply through the first growing season.

  • Mulch a ring a few inches deep.

  • Prune right after it flowers to shape it and keep it full.

  • Wear gloves when pruning. The milky sap can irritate sensitive skin.

  • Spacing: every 4–6 ft along a fence for full coverage.

‍ ‍

Pairs Well With

  • Creeping Fig — for masonry walls and the darkest corners.

  • Carolina Jessamine — yellow flowers in late winter, before the jasmine’s white in late spring.

Plant well. Live well.
