 Star Jasmine can be used as a
ground cover it thrives in full sun or shade and does well under trees. In Southern
California Star Jasmine is a popular groundcover and some gardens consist entirely of
trees and shrubs underplanted with a vast lawn of Star Jasmine.
Star Jasmine can be used to create a thick groundcover on fences and
walls, it is great because it doesn�t become to rampant and it tends
to keep a vegetative cover right to the ground where a lot of
climbers only provide cover at the top of the fence.
Star Jasmine is wonderful to grow over a
frame in a pot and clip into a formal topiary style shape. So as not
to lose all the fragrant summer flowers be sure to clip immediately
after flowering as the flowers form on the new growth.
As a summer
fragrant special

It has a dark green sasanqua camellia like leaf and a dense growing
habit without large tendrils like other forms of climbing Jasmine.
It grows happily in the sun or shade in a wide variety of soils
and although it’s a little bit slow growing it never becomes
invasive. Apart from providing a year round dense evergreen foliage cover in early summer
Star Jasmine is covered in thousands of tiny starry white flowers that are extremely
fragrant, the flowering lasts for several months. Few fragrances are more exotic than the
fragrance of Star Jasmine its perfume fills a garden on a still hot summers night.
