Jasminum officinale ‘Affine’ is a deciduous perennial climber selected for its enhanced flowering, vigour, and fragrance compared to standard common jasmine. This refined variety produces larger and more plentiful blooms, creating an impressive display throughout the warmer months. The flowers are pure white, star-shaped, and borne in generous clusters along long, twining stems, with buds often flushed pink before opening, adding subtle colour contrast and visual interest.
One of the most valued features of ‘Affine’ is its powerful, unmistakable jasmine scent. Sweet, rich, and lingering, the fragrance intensifies in the evening, making this climber an exceptional choice for planting near seating areas, doorways, patios, and open windows. It is ideal for scented gardens and sensory planting schemes, where aroma is just as important as appearance.
Hedera helix ‘Adam’ can reach a height of approximately 8–12 metres when supported, with a spread of 1–3 metres depending on growing conditions and training. Individual leaves typically measure 5–10 centimetres long, forming dense, overlapping coverage on walls, fences, or as ground cover. Growth is moderate to fast, with seasonal extension of 40–70 centimetres once established. Its evergreen foliage provides continuous structure, screening, and colour throughout the year. Suitable for climbing, trailing, or spreading, ‘Adam’ adapts well to containers, borders, and vertical planting, making it a flexible and space-efficient choice for UK gardens.
