Chinese Jasmine is a fast-growing, evergreen climber celebrated for its profusion of intensely fragrant jasmine flowers that transform any garden space into a fragrant paradise. This stunning climber produces masses of pink buds that open into star-shaped white blooms from late winter into early spring, creating spectacular displays on trellises, walls, and pergolas. Unlike Star Jasmine (Trachelospermum jasminoides), Chinese Jasmine prefers sun to partial shade and thrives in well-draining soil, making it ideal for training over structures, covering walls, or growing in containers on patios and decks. 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 enrich soil with quality compost for optimal growth. Apply pine mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
