Transform unsightly spaces with Jasminum officinale

Transform your garden with Jasminum officinale, also known as Common Jasmine—a classic climbing shrub prized for its sweetly fragrant, star-shaped white flowers and lush green foliage. Native to Asia and widely grown across the UK, this vigorous climber brings both beauty and scent to your outdoor space.

• Scented Summer Display: Enjoy a cascade of delicate blooms from early summer through autumn. The heady perfume attracts pollinators and fills warm evenings with an unmistakable fragrance.
• Lush Green Coverage: Fast-growing twining stems quickly cloak trellises, fences, pergolas or outbuildings—ideal for softening hard edges or screening unsightly views.
• Low Maintenance: Jasminum officinale is robust and easy to grow. Simply plant in well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade. Water regularly during dry spells and prune after flowering to maintain shape and encourage new growth.
• Hardiness: Suited to UK climates (RHS H4), tolerating temperatures down to -10°C. Mulch roots in colder regions for added winter protection.
• Companion Planting: Pair with clematis, honeysuckle or climbing roses for a richly layered display of colour and scent.
• Planting Guide: Best planted between March and October. Position near seating areas, entrances or patios where the fragrance can be enjoyed up close.

Caring for Your Jasmine Officinale

• Soil: Prefers fertile, moist but well-drained soil (neutral to slightly alkaline pH).
• Light: Grows best in full sun but tolerates light shade—more sun encourages heavier flowering.
• Pruning: Prune after flowering to remove spent stems and shape the plant; cut back old wood in early spring if needed.
• Pests & Diseases: Generally pest-free; watch for aphids on new growth.
