Jasminum beesianum
jasmine
An attractive, scrambling climber with fragrant, pink flowers in early to mid-summer. A semi-evergreen climber that is only frost hardy so does best planted against a sheltered, sunny wall in well-drained soil. It doesn't grow as large as some jasmines so is perfect for planting in a pot or near a door, where the scented flowers can be enjoyed.
How to care for Jasminum beesianum:
To avoid dry conditions, and to ensure good soil contact around the rootball, we advise planting climbers at least 30cm (12in), and preferably 45-60cm (18-24in) away from the base of a wall or fence. An even larger distance should be maintained when planting climbers beside an existing tree or shrub.
Plant Jasminum in a warm, sunny and sheltered location which helps to bring out the sweet fragrance of the flowers. If the soil is well-drained, it will cope with partial shade and colder positions, though it may suffer from frost damage in colder winters. When planting, add some soil conditioner (well-rotted compost) to the planting hole and some mycorrhizal fungi to aid root establishment. Grow Jasminum against appropriate support such as trellis or wires attached to walls and fences. Tie the shoots into their support as they grow.

This climber is semi-evergreen, so it can lose some of its leaves in winter. In colder regions or more exposed gardens, it may lose them all, but then fresh new foliage appears again in spring.
