Ring in spring with these tubular bells that come with a potent perfume
Heavenly Scent Jasmine

THIS IS STAR POWER

Create a perfumed paradise by enclosing a garden room with a wall of lime green and cream Chinese star jasmine (Trachelospermum jasminoides).

You’re sitting outside, taking in the warming sun, and suddenly the perfume hits you. Someone down the street has planted jasmine and its scent has wafted into your garden to remind you that you need to plant one of your own. Let it clamber over a trellis or cascade over a fence. Curl it over an archway or drape it along the balcony. That way you get a more direct hit of its intense fragrance, and you will appreciate the pretty spring flowers up close.

TYPES OF JASMINE

Arabian jasmine (Jasminum sambac) This is one of the sweetest smelling jasmines and has waxy, wavy, glossy leaves that show off the pure-white, pinwheel-shaped flowers. It’s not an energetic viner like most other jasmines and can easily be pruned into a pretty shrub. Coming from India, it prefers a warm climate. Size 1.5H x 2.5mW

Carolina jessamine (Gelsemium sempervirens) Small clusters of yellow, scented, trumpet-like flowers appear in spring and last for months, sometimes reappearing in autumn. The foliage is long, elliptical, glossy green, often with a bronze tinge. Grow along a fence or over a rockery. Size 6H x 6mW

Chinese star jasmine (Trachelospermum jasminoides) Nothing holds back this clamberer. It even scrambles over hard surfaces, so it makes a great groundcover. The white, lacy highly perfumed flowers come out in profusion from mid-spring to mid-summer over glossy, rich, light-green leaves. Size 9H x 5-8mW
