Trachelospermum Pink Shower

Advice

For a thriving Trachelospermum, provide a structure for it to climb and spread its beauty. Regular light pruning helps maintain a desired shape and encourages blooming. This climbing wonder works beautifully on arches or trellises, framing any space with elegance and colour.

Fun facts

The Trachelospermum Pink Shower is not just visually stunning but also a multi-tasker in nature! Known as the "Star Jasmine" because of its star-shaped flowers, this plant has a delightful fragrance that's often compared to sweet jasmine. A beautiful twist, however, is that it belongs to a completely different family, offering a fresh aroma while confusing senses with its similarity. Loved by gardeners for its hardy creeping ability, it not only flourishes along fences and walls but also attracts pollinators like bees and butterflies, making it a tiny hub of ecological activity. Introduce this plant to your garden, and you’re embracing both beauty and utility.

Signs of weakness

If you notice yellowing leaves or a lack of growth, your Trachelospermum might be under stress. Ensure it receives ample light and its soil is not too dry or soggy. Curling leaves can indicate low humidity — a gentle mist can work wonders!
