Trachelospermum jasminoides 'Star of Milano'

In an exciting development from the usual plain green form, Trachelospermum jasminoides 'Star of Milano' bears beautifully variegated foliage, the glossy, pointed leaves adorned with pale to dark green patterning and creamy edges. In addition, instead of the plain white flowers, the star-shaped blooms of ‘Star of Milano’ are a lovely pale pink. This versatile climber suits any garden style, covering anything from walls, fencing to trellis. It’s even suitable for containers, ground cover or growing as a low, clipped hedge. Plant it somewhere you can appreciate its heady perfume – bees will love it too!

Trachelospermum jasminoides is one of the best value climbers. It delivers all year-round cover and colour with its glossy, evergreen foliage plus abundant flowers that have an intoxicating perfume and continue blooming all the way from May until September. All of this in a vigorous climbing vine that is drought-tolerant, pest and disease-free, doesn’t require much pruning and is easy to grow! It’s a difficult combination to beat but this superb new variety has gone one step further by combining both variegated foliage and pink flowers. Height and spread: 3m (9’9").
