About
This vigorous evergreen climber is celebrated for its abundant clusters of highly fragrant white flowers. The star-shaped blooms emerge throughout the year, adding a beautiful scent and visual appeal to any setting.
Where it works in Kilifi
Ideal for climbing over pergolas, fences, or arbours, this jasmine thrives in full sun to partial shade with well-drained soil, providing lush cover and year-round fragrance. It's an excellent choice for creating a living screen or softening harsh structures in a Kilifi garden.
Growing notes
A moderately fast grower, it establishes quickly and becomes drought-tolerant once mature, requiring minimal supplemental watering. Regular pruning helps maintain its shape and promotes a continuous display of its beautiful, perfumed flowers.
