Pink Star Jasmine
Trachelospermum jasminoides 'Star of Milano'
- Masses of pink, starry, irresistibly scented flowers cover climbing stems and dense foliage throughout the summer
- The intoxicating, tropical aroma produced by the flowers will waft tantalisingly through your garden from June to August, smelling particularly strong in the evenings and at night
- Evergreen, variegated foliage (mid green leaves with cream skirting the edges) provides visual interest the whole year round
- An ideal choice for training up a wall, trellis or pergola, 'Star of Milano' is a self clinging, twining climber, meaning that it doesn't need additional support once it's established
- Got an ugly shed or boring fence you want to cover, and fast? This star jasmine is your solution, thanks to its vigorous habit which can yield growth of up to 6 feet per year
- Bees and other pollinators are seduced by this plant's heady fragrance and nectar rich flowers, making it a good fit for wildlife gardens
- 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
