Trachelospermum asiaticum ‘Pink Showers,’ the very first pink-flowered Trachelospermum asiaticum type available to UK gardeners, is a breeding marvel! Star Jasmine is great for covering walls and trellises when grown over an obelisk, but it’s also a great container plant. All through the summer, the star-shaped, candy pink flowers bloom in clusters, filling the air with a rich, delicious aroma. The glossy, brilliant green foliage of this twining evergreen climber creates a year-round stunning spectacle. Height and spread: 3m (9’9″). Grow star jasmine plants in frost-free conditions until large enough to plant outdoors. When they are well grown, plant Trachelospermum jasminoides in fertile, well drained soil in sun or semi-shade. Choose a sheltered position that is protected from cold winter winds. In particularly cold areas, Trachelospermum jasminoides is best grown in patio containers of loam based compost, such as John Innes No.2, that can be moved to a protected position over winter. Provide the twining stems with an appropriate support such as trellis, wires or a free standing climbing frame.
