Plant description
Jasminum polyanthum is a vigorous twining climber with attractive dark, glossy evergreen leaves. The real attraction though is the mass of highly scented star-shaped white flowers that open from pink buds.
A good choice for covering the wall of an unheated conservatory, or for smothering a wigwam of canes set into a pot. When grown inside in a warm conservatory they flower from late winter, but in colder temperatures the flowers appear from spring to summer.

How to care for Jasminum polyanthum:
To avoid dry conditions, and to ensure good soil contact around the rootball, we advise planting climbers at least 30cm (12in), and preferably 45-60cm (18-24in) away from the base of a wall or fence. An even larger distance should be maintained when planting climbers beside an existing tree or shrub.
Grow in a pot on a sunny patio with shade from midday sun during the summer, and move to a protected spot with a minimum temperature of 10°C (50°F) during the winter. Feed every two weeks during the growing season with a balanced fertiliser. Prune to fit the growing frame in late winter or early spring.
