Where to plant Jasmine stephanense

Jasmine stephanense grows best in full sun or part shade, sheltered, in well-drained soil. It is a good choice for scented walls and pergolas, and also works well for trellis planting, patio containers and walls and fences. Pair with climbing roses, clematis and lavender.

How to plant Jasmine stephanense

Water the plant well in its pot an hour before planting. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and the same depth, loosen the soil at the base, and mix in some garden compost. Set the plant at the same level it sat in the pot, backfill, firm gently and water in thoroughly.

How to care for Jasmine stephanense

Water regularly in the first summer and in pots; feed with a high-potash fertiliser in summer. Needs a trellis or wires to climb; prune after flowering. Prune after flowering to remove crowded stems and keep it tidy. Can become tangled if not pruned.

Growing Jasmine stephanense in a pot

Grows well in containers with a support. Use a loam-based compost such as John Innes No. 3, make sure the pot has drainage holes, and water regularly in summer, as containers dry out faster than borders.
