Jasminum Officinale Vs Star Jasmine
Trachelospermum jasminoides
Trachelospermum jasminoides, commonly known as Star Jasmine or Confederate Jasmine, is an evergreen climber that carries dense and lush, dark green leaves which are glossy and serve as a lovely backdrop to the masses of fragrant, cream-white flowers through spring and summer. With a support structure, Trachelospermum jasminoides can grow to 8 m in length but it is usually contained with trimming. More commonly it will spread across the ground to about 50 cm tall and 2-3 m wide. It is commonly used as a hardy groundcover, trained on a trellis or the like, planted so it can spill over a wall, included in outdoor living areas such as around a pool, or used in cottage or “white” gardens.

Jasminum mesnyi
Jasminum mesnyi, commonly known as Primrose Jasmine or Japanese Jasmine, is a scrambling shrub with amazing flowers and fragrance. It features dark green leaves held somewhat densely on sprawling stems. The foliage is adorned with sweetly fragrant, yellow flowers in late winter and spring. It typically grows to 70 cm tall and 3 m wide, but it can be trained along a fence or trellis if desired. Jasminum mesnyi is ideal for training on a fence and looks spectacular when grown over an archway or on a trellis. It is equally perfect for growing as a contained or trailing shrub where it can spill over a retaining wall or the like, and is well suited to cottage and modern gardens.
