Star Jasmine does best with regular water, and how often depends on your climate. The more sun it gets, the more water it needs to keep it looking tip-top. Mine gets one hour of direct sun in the morning and a little late afternoon, but it’s bright all day. In Tucson or other places with hot summers, it must be protected from full sun and does best in partial or bright shade. Star Jasmine takes the full sun on the coast of southern California (like Santa Barbara, where I used to live), or further up in the San Francisco Bay Area right through to Seattle.

It’s a great plant to grow on a chain link fence because it gives it something to grab onto and twine through without much training.Īs a ground cover, it can be kept to 2-3′ as the tendrils will grow more along the ground rather than upwards. It’s a twining vine, so you’ll need to train and attach it right from the start.Īs it grows, it’ll attach to whatever structure on its own and need little guidance from you. Star Jasmine Traits SizeĪ Star Jasmine plant can reach 25′ tall. It can also be grown as a container plant. It can be trained to grow on a trellis, over an arbor, as an espalier against a wall or fence, as a border plant or hedge, as a groundcover, and to spill over a wall. It’s an excellent choice to use as an evergreen vine.
