Turn any plain fence, mailbox, or porch rail into a wall of fragrance with Star Jasmine Vine (Trachelospermum jasminoides). This evergreen climber covers trellises, arbors, and railings with glossy green foliage and masses of star-shaped white blooms that perfume the air from late spring into summer. If you want a vine that actually earns its space, this is it.

Star Jasmine is prized for its intensely sweet, almost honey-like scent that can carry across a patio on warm evenings. Clusters of pinwheel, starry white flowers pop against rich green leaves, creating a classic Southern garden look that still works beautifully in modern landscapes. Use it to soften fences, frame an entryway, drape over a pergola, or spill from containers on the porch for an instant “resort” feel at home.

This vine is more than just pretty. Star Jasmine is an evergreen climber in warm climates, holding its foliage year-round in USDA Zones 8–11 and giving you structure even when other plants go dormant. In cooler regions it may show a little bronze tint in winter, which only adds seasonal interest. Once established, it is known for being relatively low maintenance, drought tolerant, and generally pest resistant, making it a go-to choice for busy gardeners who still demand high impact.

Plant your Star Jasmine Vine in full sun to partial shade with well-drained soil for best bloom and growth. It thrives on warm, sheltered sites and can tolerate high heat, but appreciate regular watering the first year while roots are setting in. After establishment, it handles brief dry spells far better than fussy flowering vines. Feed lightly in spring if desired, and give it something to climb—trellis, fence, arbor, lamp post, or even a mailbox frame.

Growth is moderately fast to vigorous, with vines typically reaching 10–15 feet or more when given support and time. You can also train Star Jasmine as a dense evergreen groundcover, letting the stems sprawl and root along the surface to knit banks and slopes together. In containers, it can be grown as a patio vine around a small trellis or obelisk, making it a perfect option for decks, balconies, and rental spaces where you still want big fragrance in a small footprint.

Care is straightforward. Water deeply but infrequently once established, allowing the top few inches of soil to dry slightly between waterings. Prune after the main flush of flowering to shape, control size, or encourage fresh new growth; a light annual trim is usually enough to keep it neat and full. In colder areas at the edge of its range, plant in a protected microclimate or grow Star Jasmine in containers that can be moved to shelter during hard freezes.

Star Jasmine Vine is a natural magnet for bees and butterflies, adding life and movement wherever you plant it. Its combination of evergreen foliage, romantic fragrance, and flexible uses—climber, groundcover, or container accent—makes it one of the most rewarding vines you can add to your garden or landscape.
