Trachelospermum are self-twinning evergreen climbing shrubs with glossy ovate leaves and jasmine-like, highly fragrant flowers, sometimes followed by bean-like seed-pods.
Trachelospernm asiaticum is a medium-sized climber with leathery, narrowly ovate, glossy dark green leaves 2-5cm in length. Fragrant, buff-centred, creamy flowers 2cm in width in clusters at the ends of lateral shoots.
Trachelospermum asiaticum is also known as the yellow star jasmine and the dwarf star jasmine. It can be grown as a ground cover and also a climber. It is quite hardy, withstands frosts and coastal conditions, full sun to part shade and has minimal water requirements once established. The small creamy yellow, highly scented star shaped flowers are borne during the warmer months of the year.
