Trachelospermum asiaticum ‘Bella’, commonly known as Bella Star Jasmine, is a carefully selected variety of Asian Star Jasmine, prized for its refined, compact habit and exceptional flowering performance. Supplied in a 3-litre nursery container, it establishes quickly in well-drained, fertile soil and thrives in full sun or partial shade. This evergreen climber is highly versatile, with twining stems that allow it to scale trellises, pergolas, fences, or cascade gracefully from containers, making it ideal for both small and urban gardens.
The plant’s most striking feature is its clusters of star-shaped, creamy-yellow flowers. Blooming from June through August, these highly fragrant blooms release a sweet, jasmine-like perfume that fills surrounding spaces and attracts bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. The dense, glossy evergreen foliage provides year-round structure, coverage, and privacy, retaining its vibrant green colour even through mild winters. In colder months, some leaves develop a subtle bronze flush, adding seasonal interest and enhancing garden aesthetics.
Trachelospermum asiaticum ‘Bella’ typically grows to 1.5–2 metres in height with a spread of 0.8–1.2 metres when trained over supports. Supplied in a 3-litre container approximately 20 cm tall, it establishes quickly in garden soil or containers. Individual star-shaped flowers measure around 2–3 cm across and are produced in clusters along the twining stems from June to August. The evergreen foliage forms a dense screen, providing year-round coverage, structure, and seasonal interest with occasional bronze tones in winter. Its compact climbing habit ensures manageable vertical coverage, while the long flowering season delivers continuous colour, fragrance, and pollinator activity for small gardens, patios, or pergola displays.
