At Green Island Gardens we are creating a series of videos that showcase different aspects of the gardens and give tips to all of you.
In this video Fiona talks about Trachelospermum jasminoides - the Star jasmine, from her opinion, the best climber ever!
Tips useful both for the experienced gardener and for the gardener that is willing to learn.
We have it available for sale on our nursery.

Gorgeous video. Thanks for taking the time to create it. I'm considering getting one and need to know how to take care of it, so this is definitely very helpful.
Thank you!! This is just what I needed!
Very helpful information thank you so much
Glad it was helpful!
Beautiful job!
Thank you! 💚
Deci, le iubesc enorm de mult!

My beautiful chateau
Thank you for this lovely video. How many plants did you plant on your north facing wall
Thank you for watching, so glad you enjoyed the video. Only one plant was planted.
Absolutely beautiful. What kind of trellis are you using? We would maybe plant one on our front wall. Usually they install one cable for plants to climb on. That is useful for a wine vine but is that sufficient for a star Jasmin?
No trellis. Just a horizontal wire at about 3ft and another at 6ft
How far apart should the plants be to cover a fence?
I am indigenous Montagnard Jarai tribe I love jasmine
So , to shape plant: 1- attach branches to trellis 2- wear gloves to protect from sap 3- cut branches
This video has inspired me to give this plant a grow on my (north facing) balcony. Can I ask, how would I protect this plant during winter if planted in a large wooden planter box? Many thanks @GreenIslandGardensVideos
Lots of horticultural fleece wrapped around it should do the trick
How amazing she looks!
May I ask:
- Is this only one plant? Or multiple plants? The one in front of your house.
- how long does it take to grow this big?
Thanks!!!
Hi there- Yes this is only one plant! It would be a lot bigger than it is now if we did not prune it, but it took around 7 years to grow to this size 💚
This is just stunning! I baught a large one for £50 and in the winter it went brown and completely died. So dissapointed 😞 it said it was frost hardy but im guessing thats what killed it
My Trachelospermums have survived successive winters with temperatures down to -15C. Sometimes they will need a bit of protection for the first couple of years until they get established and become accustomed to the low temperatures. A lot of plants sold in the garden centres have been grown in cosseted in warm temperatures in order to make them look perfect in order to sell, but once planted out they get a huge shock to the system.
@GreenIslandGardensVideos oh wow that's so helpful to know! Mine was 2 years old when we had a really hard frost for a week so it sounds like it was because it was still young. I will keep it's winter jacket on for another few years and then brave the elements!
Can you explain in more detail how you train them?
Just tie the long growths to a horizontal wire about 3ft high and then again at about 6ft, and leave them to it!
Was that from one plant?
Do you have a video on how to train the cliber on a fence ?
Hi there! Only the information that is in this video- Just spread the vertical growths and attach initially, and then it should climb by itself 💚
pleaseeeeeee tell me if this jasmine can survive the winter in europe, l have one and l don t know lf l shoud plant it outdoors ,love your vodeo .Ps love from Serbia
Hi there. Trachelospermum are often labelled as not fully hardy. However, mine have all survived winter temperatures of -15C in 2 successive winters. Usually we do not go much below -5C here but I do plant them against a house wall or in a sheltered spot. Often it is the combination of winter cold AND wet at the same time that is the killer, so inn a waterlogged position they would not survive much below -5C. Why not try it and take cuttings from it so that if it doesn't survive you have replacements ready? Good luck
Enjoyed your video, just a question is that wall made up of one star jasmin plant ?
Yes, just one plant
Lovely climber ...how long has it taken to grow ?
Hi Angela, thank you! I planted it about 8 years ago and now prune it annually to keep it this size :)
Hi! For the north-facing wall, how is the star jasmine secured to the wall, is it wire or trellis?
It is secured with wire at around 3 and 6 feet up
Hi, great video! I’ve a star jasmine that’s gone really leggy, it’s growing along a fence and obstructing a narrow passageway. I would like to hard prune it back to the fence but this will mean losing all the thin layer of top foliage! If I hard prune will new foliage appear? What’s your advice? Thank you!
Hi there- you can prune it back as hard as you like! We had to prune ours right back to the bare branches last year and within a couple of months it came back as good as new. Go for it!
@@GreenIslandGardensVideos Amazing, thanks so much.
Hi what for of support have you used to train this please? And is that one plant?
It was supported with 2 horizontal wires at about 3' and 5.5'. Yes this is one plant!
Do you think it would cope over an arch in a windy garden? Trying to find a climber that will cope but I think it's seeming a big ask!
Thank you for taking the time to watch our video. This answer really depends on where you are located, if in a more coastal southerly area, this should be fine. However, further up north with the winds being very cold, this will be a tricky task.
Thank you for the video. Do you prune the pot grown one on top or is this it’s maximum natural height? We have just planted one in a 40l pot hoping that it will cover some unsightly wires, but if it’s not going to grow above 2m, we might need to opt for another plant...
I have to prune the top of it each year.
I've had 1 for around 12 months against my fence south facing but it's really not doing much I thought it would have grown alot more however its only grew around 1ft
Sometimes they can take a year or 2 to “get going”. Have patience with it. You could give it a general feed next spring to encourage it!
We’ve had ours for a couple of years and only grew slightly in its first year. It’s now really starting to take off though.
😀👍
Where can I purchase seeds for these fragrant plants? Would they flourish well in tropical Caribbean?
Not sure where you would purchase seeds, research into their availability would be needed. They should grow fine in the Caribbean though.
Hi how long did it take for it to grow to the size it is in the video, thanks :)
Hi, it is around 7 or 8 years since I planted it.
@@GreenIslandGardensVideos Thank you, it's beautiful
@@GreenIslandGardensVideos wow! 7-8 years ...that's Amazing ...I'm planting one to grow over an Arch in my back garden ...it's beautiful ❤️
Hello could you help? ... how much spread do you think from one climber . Not the height but the width? Some say 1.5m some say 5m? Thanks
It depends how you train it! If you want it to go 5m+ then train the longest growths horizontally . This way there is virtually no limit to how far you can get it to spread.
I only have the west side of my apt can I grow it on the west side?
Hi Macy, as long as the side of your apartment is sheltered (and not too cold at night) it should grow well, despite labels often advising against planting these in certain aspects.
What zones does a star jasmine grow in
I think they will do best in 8-10!
Could jasmin be combined with a hedera climber to grow a hedge (not against a wall but against a trelis) ? or is that not handy? (maybe they need different pruning?)
Why would you want to add ivy to Trachelospermum? (I assume you mean trachelospermum when you say jasmine?) It would be too vigorous and out compete the trachelospermum. Trachelospermum alone on the trellis would make a perfect evergreen screen.
@@GreenIslandGardensVideos Thanks for the reply! Trachelospermum is not that winter hardy I read on internet, only a few degrees minus zero. So in case one day it will not survive an unexpected severe frost I will at least have some privacy left with the ivy and not an empty trelis ....
How many have you used to get that coverage please
This is one plant growing over the house
Will it keep growing if you place it in a flower pot?
Yes it will but if you don't repot it when required or feed it annually it may stunt its growth eventually.
Are these slow to get going? I planted one last year and it doesn't seem to have grown at all. It has survived the winter and looks healthy but just not doing much growth wise.
They can be slow to get going, especially if the soil is not totally to their liking, but be patient they will take off eventually!
Did you water? I purchased Star Jasmine and Carolina Jessamine from big box stores. They each grew to reach the top if a 6ft trellis tbat same season (z7). I have not fertilized, but water with sprinkler (due to nearby hydrangea) and mulched lightly
@@P_Belle yes and fed but dormant we have had a long hard winter so hoping once the frosts leave, it will grow.
@@peca1n did you leave it outside throgh the frost time? And if so have you used anything to protect it?
@@midoaljohmani8412 I did leave outside with no protection as I thought it was hardy in the UK?
Will confederate jasmine grow well in Honolulu hawaii in full sun potted? Thanks!
Hi Stephanie, i'm not an expert on the Hawaiian climate but I suspect it should do well as long as you keep an eye on how much rain it gets and give it a water if it gets dry!
Hello. Is that just one plant? Is it non toxic?
Yes just one plant. Not toxic but does exude a milky white sap from the stems when they are cut which could be irritant to some. Personally Im fine with it but it is sticky!
I have recently planted one and the leaves are turning red what is happening should I feed it.?
They often turn red naturally in the autumn but it can be a sign of a lack of nutrients. Feeding it should help.
Mine has yellowing leaves, what causes this please?
Hi Jeanette, it sounds like the soil could be either short in nutrients or too alkaline. Neutral to acidic soil is preferred. You could try an ericaceous feed if soil ph is fine.
@@GreenIslandGardensVideos yes, I have been feeding it, and the leaves are now lovely and green, and its just bursting into flower!
Is one plant enough to get the same result?
This is all grown from one plant, patience is all that is required
Is this one plant?
Yes it is!
Only 1 month bloom in the year??
It blooms from the end of June right through to the end of September!
Looks as if this one is a much faster climber than English Ivy for certain.
They are similar in growth speeds, but Ivy is invasive and shouldn't be planted in the same situations as Trachelospermum jasminoides.
Just hard to hear you.
Turn volume up
@@A.nasierkhan it is up. Got another suggestion?
How is Star Jasmine not Jasmine?
It's Trachelospermum jasminoides.which means jasmin like.
Star jasmine is a common name, not a latin one. The only plants that are Jasmines are those who's names start with Jasminum, so for example Jasminum officinalis, Jasminum nudiflorum etc. This is why it is best to use the Latin names as the common ones can be so confusing. A classic example of this is all sorts of plants who's common name includes the word 'Lily', and yet none of them are Lillies...so for example, Day Lily, Toad Lily, Arum Lily, Kaffir Lily, Pagoda Lily, etc. Hope this helps?
So it smells like jasmin. Looks like jasmin. And It’s called Jasmin. But it’s not Jasmin… great video though 👍 😊
No it is not called Jasmine! It is called Trachelospermum
You say it’s common name is “star Jasmin” in your video 😂
So it’s common name is not Jasmin?
@@Tony-qx5mt the common name is like a “nickname”.. someone’s name is what they are christened. They may be given several nicknames over their lifespan but these are not the persons real name… same with plants and it is a good example of why the Latin names should be used and not the common names!
