Star Jasmine, scientifically known as Jasminum laurifolium, is a versatile evergreen vine or shrub, beloved for its sweetly fragrant, star-shaped white flowers that bloom profusely in late spring and continue sporadically through the summer. Its glossy, dark green leaves emerge bronze-purple and often take on a bronze-red flush in cooler weather, adding seasonal interest even when not in bloom. With its twining, wiry stems, Star Jasmine can be trained up trellises and arbours, or grown as a cascading groundcover, bringing beauty and fragrance to gardens and patios alike.
