Trachelospermum jasminoides, commonly known as Star Jasmine, is a popular and highly fragrant evergreen vine. It belongs to the Apocynaceae family and is native to China and other parts of East Asia. Trachelospermum jasminoides is widely grown as an ornamental plant for its beautiful, aromatic flowers and its ability to climb walls, trellises, and fences.

Growth Habit: Confederate Jasmine is a climbing vine that can reach heights of 3 to 6m or more. It climbs by twining its stems around support structures, making it a popular choice for covering walls, arbours, and fences.

Leaves: The leaves of Trachelospermum jasminoides are dark green, glossy, and lance-shaped or ovate in form. They are arranged opposite each other along the stems.

Flowers: One of the main attractions of Confederate Jasmine is its highly fragrant, star-shaped white flowers. The flowers are small, typically around 2.5cm in diameter, and they appear in clusters. The intense, sweet fragrance of the blossoms is reminiscent of true jasmine flowers, hence the common name “Star Jasmine.”

Flowering Season: Confederate Jasmine usually blooms in late spring to early summer, but in some regions, it may produce sporadic flowers throughout the year under favourable conditions.

Growth Requirements: Trachelospermum jasminoides thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-draining, fertile soil. Once established, it is relatively drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, making it a popular choice for gardeners.

Its fragrant flowers and attractive foliage make it a favourite for covering walls, pergolas, trellises, and fences. It can also be grown in containers for patios and balconies.
