{"title":"Jasmines and Star Jasmine","description":"\u003cp\u003eFew plants perfume a garden like jasmine. This range brings together star jasmine, the most planted evergreen climber in Australia, with the true jasmines and the scented tropical vines sold under the same name. Use them to cover a fence, soften a pergola, carpet a bank or scent a courtyard from a pot. Some twine, some sprawl and some stay as groundcover, so the right choice depends on the job. Every plant is delivered Australia wide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to choose a jasmine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/star-jasmine-trachelospermum-jasminoides\"\u003eStar Jasmine\u003c\/a\u003e is the all rounder. It is evergreen, twines to about 4m on wires or lattice, and covers itself in white perfumed flowers in late spring. It also clips into a low hedge or runs as a groundcover. The variegated form, Tricolor, adds cream and pink new growth.

Primrose Jasmine is an arching shrub with yellow flowers, and Angel Wing Jasmine carries white pinwheels through the warm months. Madagascar Jasmine and Red Brazilian Jasmine are tender vines for warm, sheltered spots and pots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere jasmines work\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStar jasmine, a \u003cem\u003eTrachelospermum\u003c\/em\u003e, grows in every capital city, in full sun or half shade, and tolerates light frost once established. It suits fences, pool surrounds, pergola posts and difficult shaded ground. Pink Jasmine is best where you can prune it hard, because it roots where stems touch soil and can spread in mild, moist climates. The tropical vines want frost free warmth. All are staples of our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/climbers\"\u003eclimbing plants\u003c\/a\u003e range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePlanting and spacing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTo cover a fence, plant star jasmine 1m apart at the base of horizontal wires spaced 30cm to 40cm up the fence. As groundcover, plant four to a square metre. Dig compost through the soil, water in well and mulch. Tie the first stems to their support; after that they twine on their own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCare basics\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWater regularly through the first two summers. Feed in spring. Trim star jasmine after flowering to keep it flat against its support, and cut Pink Jasmine back by half as soon as flowers fade. Wear gloves when pruning star jasmine: the milky sap is sticky and can irritate skin.

Tubes are young plants with a short stem or two and are the sensible choice for a long fence line, since they climb quickly once the roots take.
