Description

The Jasminum officinale 'Aureum' or Common Jasmine is a beautiful climbing perennial, notable for both its pure white, highly fragrant flowers and its golden-yellow foliage.

From June to September, this 4m-tall plant produces star-shaped flowers with five pure white petals, emerging from pink buds, measuring 2 to 3 cm in diameter, with an intense fragrance. Its golden leaves, semi-evergreen in winter depending on the region, gradually take on a green hue over time. They are borne on voluble stems that twine around their support.

The Common Jasmine 'Aureum' thrives in well-worked, deep, humus-bearing, slightly acidic soil without waterlogging, in a sunny, sheltered position. Hardy to -15°C, mulch the soil to protect the base. It can withstand short frosts by shedding its leaves. The above-ground parts may freeze, but if the stump is well-rooted, new shoots will emerge from the base. Pruning, after flowering, involves removing old branches and reducing its size.

The White Jasmine is perfect for dressing trellises, fences, stair or balcony railings, arches, and arbours. In a pot on a terrace, it will release its fragrance on summer evenings! Pair it with climbing roses or among perennials in a summer border!

Dried flowers in tea are reputed to soothe coughs and relieve headaches. When macerated in olive oil, they are used in rubs for neuralgia.

Planting and care

Jasminum officinale 'Aureum' should be planted in spring in well-worked, slightly acidic, and well-drained soil, in full sun or partial shade in very hot regions. Mulch the base in colder areas, but opt for container cultivation if winters are particularly harsh. Water generously as soon as the flowers appear. Light pruning after flowering is sufficient.
For container cultivation, mix garden soil with good-quality potting compost. Don't forget drainage with a layer of gravel or clay pebbles at the bottom of the pot.
