The highlights

  • Does well in both sun and partial shade
  • Vigorous climbing habit
  • Starry pink and yellow flowers in summer
  • Produces an amazing aroma

Description

  • An explosion of star shaped, pastel pink and golden yellow flowers carpet vigorously climbing stems and forest green, ovate foliage
  • Often known as the Asian star jasmine, the flowers of this plant produce a gorgeous, alluring jasmine fragrance when they bloom between May and September - the scent is typically stronger later in the day, making it a fabulous addition when placed near seating areas for evening summer socialising
  • A fabulous plant to train up walls, fences, pergolas, arbours or trellises
  • Evergreen foliage ensures interest throughout the year, and can help transform dull, uninspired vertical surfaces into truly lush, verdant environments
  • Low maintenance and both easy and fast growing, this perennial can be reliably called upon to produce masses of pink flowers every year
  • With flowers rich in pollen and nectar, 'Pink Showers' will attract plenty of pollinators like bees and butterflies to your garden
  • Please Note: Our climbers are pruned back each winter, and some during the summer, so you may find at certain times of year they do not cover the whole 90cm cane. This is intentional to ensure the best growth when you plant out

Habit:

Climbing
Trachelospermum needs little training as it is a self-clinging, twining climber and will cover the space effectively on its own. Young growth will need some guiding and tying-in to supports until it is able to twine and climb. After that, it can be left to scramble upwards, mound up and then arch downwards with a cascade of flowering shoots.

How To Grow

Excellent pest and disease resistance

Generally has few problems with diseases. It can have issues with cushion scale when grown outside as well as mealybugs and glasshouse red spider mites when grown in greenhouses or inside but problems are rarely serious.

Water regularly

Water frequently for the first 12 months after planting. During hotter, drier spells, your plant may require additional watering. If grown in a container, 'Pink Showers' will dry out more quickly and will therefore need watering more often.

Full sun to partial shade

Plant either in full sun or partial shade, in a sheltered spot.

Fertile (or moderately fertile) and well draining soil

Plant 'Pink Showers' in fertile soil with good drainage. It will tolerate slightly acidic soil but prefers a neutral or alkaline pH if possible.

Feed every spring

Feed in the springtime with a well-balanced general purpose fertiliser (like Blood, Fish and Bone). Feeding isn't strictly necessary, particularly if your soil is already fertile. However, an annual feed can help bolster flower growth.
