Jasminum Polyanthum (Common Jasmine or Winter Jasmine)
Jasminum Polyanthum (Common Jasmine or Winter Jasmine) is a fragrant, evergreen climbing vine known for its abundance of small, star-shaped white flowers with a sweet, intoxicating fragrance. These blooms appear in late winter to early spring, providing an early burst of colour and fragrance in the garden. The glossy, dark green leaves complement the white flowers, making this plant a popular choice for trellises, fences, and arbors.
This versatile vine thrives in full sun to partial shade and well-drained soils, making it suitable for a variety of garden settings. Jasminum Polyanthum is fast-growing and relatively low-maintenance once established. It benefits from occasional pruning to maintain its shape and encourage dense flowering. Ideal for adding fragrance and ornamental beauty to the garden, it also attracts pollinators like bees and butterflies.
