Further Information

You'll see our recommended planting densities for each size and root type listed in the product grid. We suggest that you use these as a guide, taking into consideration how long you're willing to wait to see your finished hedge.

Star Jasmine has the potential to spread up to 4m or more if grown as a hedge, but the rate of growth is dependent upon the local climate. If it's warmer, it will grow significantly faster than in cooler parts of the UK. Although it is relatively fast growing, if you wish to achieve a hedge in a shorter period of time, or if you live in a cooler area of the UK, you may want to consider increasing the number of plants per metre.

For more information on planting distances please see our planting density advice section.

Pruning Advice

Star Jasmine is grown as a climbing shrub and pruned after summer flowering to maintain the plant's desired height and shape. To renovate older or overgrown plants, it's best to cut them back in early spring before new growth begins. For more extensive pruning, such as when dealing with overgrown plants, this should be done in late winter or early spring before growth resumes.

If you're growing Star Jasmine as a hedge, the key to encouraging lateral growth is regularly pinching out the tips of new shoots from the time of planting. This method will promote horizontal branching and result in a compact, free-standing hedge, typically around 2 feet in height. To achieve a taller hedge, train your Star Jasmine onto a trellis.

Star Jasmine Hedge Plant Description

Star Jasmine (Trachelospermum jasminoides), or Confederate Jasmine, is a fragrant, evergreen climber native to eastern and southern Asia. Its glossy, dark green leaves provide year-round interest, while its stunning white, star-like flowers bloom in the summer months, adding a delightful scent to your outdoor space. These flowers are complemented by small, orange-red berries that appear in the autumn, making Star Jasmine an eye-catching addition to trellises, fences, or pergolas. You can discover more wall-climbing shrubs here.

This climbing jasmine variety has a relatively fast growth rate, depending on where it lives; it tends to grow slower in cooler parts of the UK. When grown as a climber, it can reach up to 8 meters in height, with an average spread of around 1.5 meters. It can also be easily trained to form a low-level, attractive hedge at around 2 feet tall, offering flexibility in your garden design. However, if you want to add Star Jasmine plants to your space, give it a planting distance of 1-1.5 meters so it has plenty of room to thrive.

Star Jasmine is happiest in warm, sunny, and sheltered positions, especially in south-facing spots, making it adaptable to various garden settings. Known for its hardiness, it prefers moist soil types as long as they’re well-drained. While it can tolerate some shade, it should be protected from frosty conditions in colder areas of the UK, as it’s semi-hardy. During winter, young or newly established plants may need extra care to ensure they recover once warmer weather arrives.

At Hedges Direct, you can find pot-grown Star Jasmine available all year round. Check out our root types guide and hedge planting advice for more information.

What are root types?

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.
