Highly perfumed, soft yellow, windmill-shaped flowers open in spring and summer against dark green leaves with bronze new growth. Unclipped it reaches 1m to 2m, and it is less vigorous than the white-flowered form, so it suits a smaller trellis or arbour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy you'll love it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHighly perfumed flowers.\u003c\/strong\u003e Pastel yellow starry flowers fill the air with scent through spring and summer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBronze new growth.\u003c\/strong\u003e Young leaves flush bronze against the dark green older foliage, so the plant looks good outside flowering.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVersatile habit.\u003c\/strong\u003e Train it as a climber, let it spread as a groundcover or clip it to a low hedge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLess vigorous than white star jasmine.\u003c\/strong\u003e It is easier to manage and better scaled for a small trellis or arbour.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReputedly possum resistant.\u003c\/strong\u003e It is said to be possum-proof, which is a useful bonus where possums chew garden plants.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere it works best\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrellis, arbour and wall.\u003c\/strong\u003e Give it a sturdy trellis and it winds upward on its own, scenting the doorway or seat it frames.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGroundcover.\u003c\/strong\u003e Plant 1m apart and let it spread.
