About this plant
Common jasmine dresses a trellis, a railing or a pergola in fine, light foliage within two seasons. From June to September its starry flowers open at dusk and release the scent that made the reputation of Andalusian gardens and the patios of Fes.
It likes sun on its head and cool at its feet. A prune after flowering keeps it dense and stops it tangling.
Safe for pets, it is the natural companion of bitter orange and bougainvillea.
