Trachelospermum asiaticum Asiatic Star Jasmine

A cold-hardy jasmine variety perfect for Melbourne's climate. It features deeper green foliage than the popular Trachelospermum jasminoides variety, as well as smaller white flowers that come with a delightful fragrance. Its glossy green leaves may take on bronze-red tones in cooler weather, before returning to deep green. This slow-growing evergreen makes a wonderful climber or groundcover, and can be easily trained over arches or trellises if desired. It can also be used as underplanting, adding depth and interest to shadier areas of the garden. A wonderful plant with traits perfect for Melbourne and surrounding areas.
