Jasminum polyanthum, commonly known as Pink Jasmine, is a hardy, evergreen climbing plant valued for its remarkable combination of lush foliage, vibrant buds, and fragrant flowers. Its slender stems bear clusters of deep-pink buds that gradually open into pure white, star-shaped flowers, creating a beautiful and striking colour contrast. These blooms release a heady, sweet fragrance, which intensifies in warmer weather and fills patios, seating areas, or garden corners with an unforgettable perfume. The plant maintains its glossy, evergreen foliage year-round, providing continuous garden interest even when not in flower.
As a half-hardy variety, Pink Jasmine thrives in sheltered, sunny positions or patios, where it can be protected from frost. It grows vigorously, producing long, flexible stems that are ideal for training over trellises, hoops, pergolas, or small garden arches. The plant’s robust growth habit makes it suitable for creating green screens, vertical garden features, or dense coverage along walls and fences. Its evergreen nature ensures that these screens remain visually appealing even outside the flowering season, enhancing privacy and structure in your garden.
Jasminum polyanthum is a fast-growing evergreen climber, typically reaching heights of 3–5 metres and a spread of 2–3 metres when well established. The plant produces slender, flexible stems that can be easily trained over trellises, pergolas, arches, or fences, providing both vertical structure and decorative appeal. Its glossy, evergreen foliage remains attractive year-round, while clusters of deep-pink buds open into star-shaped white flowers, each approximately 2–3 centimetres in diameter. Flowering can begin in summer and, in milder conditions, continue into winter, offering months of fragrance and visual interest. Ideal for patios, garden walls, and seating areas, Pink Jasmine combines height, coverage, and floral beauty, creating a versatile and elegant climber that enhances any outdoor space.
