Star Jasmine

Whether you treat it as a houseplant, or grow it out in your frost-free garden as a ground cover or climbing vine, the Star Jasmine is a lovely plant. Distinct from other plants also called ‘star’, this plant is easily recognized by the 10, not 5, petals in the very large flowers. It isn’t cold-resistant, so outdoors it grows only in the warmest zones, but it also makes a lovely and easy houseplant, filling your home with fragrance, and the pot can be kept outside from spring to fall. The leathery leaves are glossy and handsome too, and it blooms more-or-less continuously, always giving you the true and delicious scent found in the most expensive perfumes and soaps

• Very large white, star-shaped flowers with 10 petals
• Highly fragrant and blooms continuously
• Glossy leathery leaves are large and deep green
• A beautiful and easy-to-grow houseplant
• Excellent bushy ground-cover or climbing vine outdoors

Hardy outdoors only in zone 10, the Star Jasmine can be grown as a houseplant, kept indoors in winter and outdoors the rest of the year. Grow it in full sun or with some afternoon shade, in any well-drained soil or ordinary houseplant soil. It rarely suffers from pests and can be trimmed as needed, or trained up trellis or canes.
