STAR JASMINE
Question Body:
I received a present of a STAR JASMINE (trachelospernum jasminoides)in a pot and would like to plant it out against my garden fence,would that be ok? Is it scented? Also what other scented climbers should I look out for?
Answer Body:
Yes you can plant it outside but choose a south facing position sheltered from cold winds. This plant is extremely scented with beautifull white flowers in summer. A good idea may be to plant it in a large container with a Growise Multipurpose Plus John Innes compst so as you can move it indoors or to a more protected area in a harsh winter. One of the best hardy fragrant climbing plants is honeysuckle "Lonicera" and there are many varieties to choose from the best been "serotina" and "sempervirens". Another good scented climber is Wisteria which flower in late spring early summer in shades of lilac and purple.
