Collection of 3 scented star jasmines

This Collection of 3 Star Jasmines at a very sweet price brings together three varieties of Tachelospermum, commonly known as False Jasmines, appreciated for their deliciously scented flowering, their year-round decorative foliage, green to red in winter, as well as their ease of cultivation in open ground in regions that are not too cold. Their flowering, in small white or pink stars, takes place between June and July. These climbing plants, although vigorous, can also be grown in pots, which allows them to be protected from severe frost in less favourable climates. They allow everyone to indulge themselves while controlling their budget!

This collection consists of:

1 x Trachelospermum jasminoides: this is the typical species, vigorous, with white flowers, capable of occupying 8 m in all directions in open ground, depending on the growing conditions. Its small flowers exude a penetrating fragrance that is both spicy and sweet, and its glossy, leathery foliage sometimes takes on beautiful orange-red hues.

1 x Trachelospermum jasminoides Winter Ruby 'Trared': a selection whose foliage will turn red under the effect of cold. Its flowering and dimensions are identical to the previous species.

1 x Trachelospermum asiaticum 'Pink Showers': this one offers pink flowers instead of cream or white, and they diffuse the same extraordinary biscuit-like fragrance that we appreciate throughout the summer in the typical species. Slightly less vigorous than the previous two, it still climbs up to 5 m.

The star jasmine is a climbing or creeping plant of the apocynaceae family, it is a cousin of periwinkles, as well as of Alamanda and Mandevilla (Dipladenia, the summer glory of our flowering pots). Its origins are found in China, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam. It takes a little while to establish, and the plant develops long stems that quickly turn woody. The branches are adorned with opposite, entire, ovate leaves with pointed tips. They are thick, leathery, and glossy. The twining branches, when encountering a moist surface, emit aerial roots that allow the plant to cling to walls, the ground, or stones, similar to ivy. This plant is capable of withstanding -12 to -15 °C at its peak once mature and well-rooted, in a sheltered location.

The star jasmine also grows very well in a large pot to elegantly adorn the terrace or balcony. Further south, it can be planted in open ground, in sun or shade, where it will show resistance to summer drought once well established. It is most often used to climb walls or fences, but it can also make an excellent ground cover, even in the shade of deciduous trees, as an alternative to ivy. Perfect for filling out a hedge between evergreens or hiding an unpleasant view, Trachelospermum can also form a beautiful permanent "tunnel," a passage between two areas of the garden; it can be trained on a structure made with two arches joined by wires. It can also adorn the edge of steps, crown the slope of a hollow path... At its base, Mexican orange trees, shrubby lavateras and a creeping ceanothus... will find their place. Its branches will mingle with those of clematis, honeysuckles, or climbing Solanum in mild climates.
