Premium Features & Solutions

Star Jasmine earns its space in ways most vines cannot. It is evergreen in warm climates, fragrant enough to perfume an entire patio, and flexible enough to serve as a climber, groundcover, or container plant. Unlike fussy flowering vines that demand constant attention, Star Jasmine is drought tolerant once established, generally pest resistant, and requires only a light annual trim to stay neat and full. The 3 Gallon size gives you a head start with a more established root system and a vine that is already 3-4 feet tall and ready to climb.

Choose Your Size

The 3 Gallon is our landscape-ready option -- nursery-grown at 3-4 feet tall with a larger root system for faster establishment and earlier blooms. The 1 Gallon offers a strong mid-range option at approximately 2 feet tall. The Quart Vine is the budget-friendly starter with the same genetics, ideal for planting in volume along a long fence line or slope. Pre-built 4-Pack and 6-Pack bundles are also available for maximum coverage and savings.

Smart Growing Guide

Beginner: Plant in full sun to partial shade with well-drained soil. Dig a hole slightly wider than the container, place the plant, backfill, and water deeply. Give it something to climb right away -- a trellis, fence, arbor, or even a mailbox frame. Water regularly during the first season while roots establish. After that, water deeply but infrequently, allowing the top few inches of soil to dry slightly between waterings. Feed lightly in spring with a balanced fertilizer. Prune lightly after the main bloom flush to shape and encourage fresh new growth.

Advanced: For maximum fragrance and coverage, plant in a warm, sheltered microclimate with at least 6 hours of sun. Train stems horizontally along supports early to encourage lateral branching and denser coverage. In cooler areas at the edge of zone 8, plant against a south or west-facing wall for added warmth and protection. For groundcover use, allow stems to sprawl and peg them to the soil surface -- they will root along the length and knit slopes together effectively. In containers, use a large pot with a small trellis or obelisk and bring indoors or to a sheltered location during hard freezes.

Pro Tips for Maximum Impact

• Plant along a fence line using the 4-Pack or 6-Pack bundle for instant, wall-to-wall fragrant coverage
• Train over a pergola or arbor to create a fragrant outdoor room that perfumes the air all season
• Use as a dense evergreen groundcover on slopes and banks to control erosion while adding year-round beauty
• Grow in a large container with a trellis on a deck or balcony for big fragrance in a small footprint
• Pair with climbing roses or clematis for a layered, multi-season flowering display on the same structure

How fast does it grow?
Growth is rapid to vigorous. Vines typically reach 10-15 feet or more when given support and time. Expect strong growth in the first season once roots are established.

Is it truly fragrant?
Yes -- Star Jasmine is ranked in our top 3 most fragrant plants. The intensely sweet, honey-like scent can carry across an entire patio on warm evenings during the bloom season.

Does it need a support structure?
Yes for climbing use. Provide a trellis, fence, arbor, pergola, or any sturdy structure. It can also be grown as a groundcover without support by allowing stems to sprawl along the soil surface.

Is it deer resistant and pet safe?
Yes to both. Star Jasmine is deer resistant and non-toxic to pets, making it a safe choice for gardens where animals roam.

How much maintenance does it need?
Minimal once established. Water during dry spells, feed lightly in spring, and give it a light trim after blooming to keep it neat. One of the lowest-maintenance fragrant vines available.

Can I grow it in a container?
Yes. Use a large container with a small trellis or obelisk. It performs well on decks and balconies and can be moved to shelter during hard freezes in cooler climates.

When is the best time to plant?
Spring and fall are ideal. In zones 8-11, it can be planted year-round. We will hold your order if temperatures are unsafe for shipping.
