Starry Wild Jasmine

Starry Wild Jasmine

Starry Wild Jasmine (Jasminum multipartitum) is a rewarding, evergreen semi‑climber or scrambling shrub native to South Africa and prized for its glossy foliage and scented blooms. The plant produces masses of white, star‑shaped flowers that are sweetly fragranced and create a delightful sensory display in gardens.

This vigorous yet manageable plant can be trained up trellises, fences, or supports, or allowed to sprawl as an attractive shrub. It can also be pruned into a compact hedge or screen while still offering delightful fragrance and texture.

Starry Wild Jasmine adapts to a wide range of garden settings, thriving in semi‑shade to partial sun and coping well with a variety of soils, provided they are well‑drained. Once established, it is fairly drought tolerant and can handle light frost with protection, adding structure and fragrance to Pretoria and Johannesburg gardens.
