Star Jasmine is beloved for its intoxicating fragrance that transforms fences, arches, and pergolas into living features while creating stunning vertical displays in Western Cape gardens. This versatile evergreen climber provides year-round structure with its glossy foliage, while the profusion of starry white blooms in spring and summer fills the garden with heavenly scent. It can also be clipped into hedges or used as groundcover, making it one of the most adaptable climbers for entrances, patios, and pergolas. Plant 1.5-2m apart for screening or use as specimen plants against walls and structures. Feed annually in spring with a balanced slow-release fertilizer and ensure well-drained soil enriched with compost for optimal growth.
