Blooming in spring and early summer, star jasmine (Trachelospermum jasminoides<\/em>) will perfume an entire garden. Take a walk through a yard that hosts this\u00a0easy-to-grow vine\u00a0and you\u2019ll likely catch the scent of the bright white flowers before you see them. The clusters of star-shaped blooms are petite and complemented by small, shiny evergreen leaves.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/div>

Star jasmine is a fast-growing woody vine that can\u00a0scramble up a trellis\u00a0or fence, making it a great choice for creating a living screen. Its twining stems anchor themselves to structures and move upward rapidly. Plant it at the\u00a0base of a pergola or arbor\u00a0to create a fragrant roof on the structure. Encourage the vines to climb up the support posts by twirling the young stems around the base of the posts. Star jasmine does not climb masonry.<\/p>

Where to Plant Star Jasmine<\/span><\/h2>

Star jasmine is winter hardy in\u00a0USDA Hardiness Zones 8-10. It will sometimes survive in Zone 7b, but may need winter protection. In areas where star jasmine is not hardy, you can\u00a0treat it as an annual\u00a0and enjoy the fragrant flowers for a single season, or\u00a0bring it indoors during winter\u00a0to enjoy it.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/div><\/span>

Star Jasmine Care Tips<\/span><\/h2>

Light<\/span><\/h3>

Star jasmine does best in about 2-6 hours of direct sunlight a day. It will grow in shadier spots, but it grows slowly and produces fewer flowers.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/div>

Soil and Water<\/span><\/h3>


Fertile,\u00a0well-drained soil is best\u00a0for growing star jasmine. Blanket the soil around plants with a 2-inch-thick\u00a0layer of mulch\u00a0to prevent soil moisture loss. Water regularly during the first growing season to promote the development of a deep root system. Once established, the vine has good drought resistance and rarely needs supplemental watering.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/div>

Fertilizer<\/span><\/h3>

Fertilize star jasmine with a\u00a0balanced fertilizer such as 10-10-10\u00a0or 5-10-10. Start fertilizing after new growth occurs in spring but before the flower buds form. During the season, fertilize every six weeks.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/div>

Pruning<\/span><\/h3>

Prune star jasmine plants after they finish flowering to encourage new growth. If you wait until late summer to prune, the plant will not bloom as prolifically the following spring.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/div><\/span>

Pests and Problems<\/span><\/h2>

No significant pests or diseases trouble this vine. Mealybugs and\u00a0aphids can sometimes be a problem.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/div><\/span>

How to Propagate Star Jasmine<\/span><\/h2>

You can propagate star jasmine by\u00a0taking cuttings from an existing plant. Make the cuttings about 6 inches long and cut immediately below a bud. Dip the cut end into a rooting powder and plant it in damp sand mixed with potting soil.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/div><\/span>

Growing Star Jasmine Indoors<\/span><\/h2>

In cold winter areas, bring star jasmine indoors and place it in a bright, sunny window. Water it regularly and rotate the pot every few weeks to promote equal growth on all sides. Star jasmine does not often bloom indoors, but it will bloom outdoors in spring or summer if you move it outside once\u00a0all danger of frost has passed.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
