Jasminum are evergreen or deciduous shrubs that often climb via twining stems. Their fragrant flowers are star-shaped.
Unusually for a jasmine, Jasmine x stephanense has pale pink flowers, which appear in June and July. It’s a strong-growing deciduous climber that will quickly cover a south or west facing fence or wall.
Plant it somewhere sunny, warm and sheltered to best enjoy the scent of the flowers. It will cope with partial shade as long as the soil is well-drained.
