Star Jasmine Hedge Plant Description

The evergreen Star Jasmine (Trachelospermum jasminoides) is a beautiful shrub that is sure to look stunning in any garden. It has glossy green leaves, offset in summer by its delicate, white starry flowers that carry a divine fragrance. During the colder months, the leaves can turn striking shades of bronze and red, adding winter colour to the garden.

A relatively fast-growing plant dependent upon local climate, (it will grow slower in cooler parts of the UK) Star Jasmine can climb up a trellis or a wall with ease, forming an eye-catching 'living screen' effect, or make an attractive frame when grown over pergolas and doorways. Trachelospermum jasminoides can in the right conditions, reach up to 8m in height when trained as a climbing plant, with an average spread of around 1.5m, so a planting distance of between 1 - 1.5m is recommended to give it enough space to thrive.

Aside from being a superb climbing plant, Star Jasmine can also be trained successfully to form a very attractive low-level hedge to around 2ft tall, spreading up to 4m or more. To form a hedge it is necessary to train the plant to produce lateral growth, which can be achieved by regularly pinching out the upward growing tips to force growth to the sides. For more information see the pruning advice tab.

Happiest in warm, sunny and sheltered conditions, ideally in a south facing position, Star Jasmine can also grow and flower well in partial shade. It prefers moist but well-drained soils, and will thrive in most types of soil except clay which is too wet. Star Jasmine can experience root rot if the roots become waterlogged, therefore a free draining soil is essential.

We'd also recommend protecting your plants over the winter, particularly in colder areas of the UK, as Star Jasmine can be damaged by cold, frosty and icy conditions, being only semi-hardy to frost. Young or newly established plants in particular will need over-winter care, but should bounce back with vigor once the weather warms and with a regular feeding regime.

For a more established hedge or garden screening, Star Jasmine is also available all year round as an instant screening hedge. These hedging screens are trough-grown with several plants growing over a sturdy steel frame, which are a cost-effective and space-saving way to bring the striking style of a Star Jasmine hedge complete with the security and privacy of a fence to your garden. We have a range of Instant Hedging Screens available to bring immediate impact to your garden.

Star Jasmine is available all year round.

What are root types?

x

Root types explained.

  • Bare root

    Field grown, bare roots are young plants that are only planted when they are dormant, from autumn to spring. We lift bare root plants and despatch them during the season but they can be pre-ordered in summer. As they are cheaper to grow, they are one of our most affordable hedge planting options.

  • Pot grown

    Pot grown plants can be planted year round and make a convenient option. They come in a wide range of sizes, from 10cm to 2.5m so they're suitable for the majority of planting requirements.

  • Root ball

    Also field grown, root ball plants are scooped out of the ground using machinery to keep their root system intact and wrapped in bio-degradable, hessian sacks. They are mature plants that provide dense coverage very early on, ideal for when you need a thick hedge quickly.

  • Instant

    Grown in troughs or bags that measure 50cm-1 metre in length and carefully clipped during the growing season. Our instant hedging troughs create a dramatic, instant hedge effect.
