This collection includes the following varieties:

Trachelospermum jasminoides.

Trachelospermum jasminoides Star of Toscana.

An evergreen climber with large clusters of long flowering, starry yellow flowers and a delightful, exotic perfume that fills the air around it.

Height 3m (10').

Trachelospermum asiaticum Pink Showers.

The hardiest of the star jasmine species, also knwn as Chinese or Asiatic Jasmine, this charming evergreen climber features exquisite candy-pink, star-shaped flowers that bloom from June to September and boast an irresistible fragrance.
