Star Jasmine is a versatile plant indeed. The sweetly scented star-like flowers along with the gorgeous, glossy, dark green leaves are its big draw.
Star Jasmine can reach 25-30 ft tall. It needs support to reach that height otherwise it just flops back on itself. It’s a twining vine so you’ll need to train and attach it right from the start.
If Star Jasmine is getting enough sun and water, then it’s fast-growing. I prune mine after flowering and then again lightly in early fall to promote growth.
Star Jasmine Plants are hardy in USDA zones 8 -11. They can take temperatures down to 10-15 degrees F. This plant adapts well to both heat and cold but it won’t survive climates with harsh winters.
Star Jasmine takes the full sun on the coast. Here in Tucson, or in other places with hot summers, it needs to be protected from full sun and does best in partial shade or bright shade.
This plant is fairly versatile when it comes to types of soil, but prefers loamy soils with good drainage. I always amended the soil when planting with a proportionate amount of local compost.
