The star jasmine of Southeast Asia
Native to Southeast Asia, Rhyncospermum jasminoides — also known as Trachelospermum jasminoides or star jasmine — twines its evergreen stems around trellises and covers its glossy leaves with small white star-shaped flowers of a sweet, lingering fragrance.
Hardy and undemanding, it adapts to a wide range of conditions, forms very dense climbing hedges, and remains one of the most popular vines for dressing walls, pergolas, and fences with elegance.
"The Star Jasmine turns any bare wall into a cascade of star-shaped blooms."
