The detail
This range of Jasminum includes winter-flowering and summer-flowering varieties, each valued for graceful growth and reliable garden performance. From cheerful yellow blooms on bare green stems in late winter, to intensely fragrant white or soft pink flowers in summer, these plants bring movement, scent and structure to vertical spaces. Depending on the variety, growth ranges from arching, cascading shrubs reaching around 2–3 metres, to twining climbers capable of 4–8 metres when supported. Ideal for walls, fences, pergolas, arches, banks and cottage-style planting schemes.
Supplied as a large, well-established 2-litre plant, each jasmine arrives garden-ready with a strong root system for confident planting. Flowering is naturally season-dependent, so plants may arrive in bud, bloom or leaf. Hardy and adaptable, they thrive in full sun to partial shade and reward even minimal care with months of interest. Perfect for adding vertical colour, soft screening or beautifully scented garden moments throughout the year.
