How to care for Trachelospermum asiaticum Star of Milano ('TRSUZ01') (PBR):
Ideally suited to south-facing walls and fences in warm, sheltered gardens, the twining stems of star jasmine can be trained onto sturdy supports including wires, trellis or freestanding climbing frames. Alternatively, consider planting into a large patio pot filled with loam-based compost, facilitating easy relocation to a sheltered spot during the cooler months. In regions that experience prolonged or severe frost, grow under the protection of a spacious, cool greenhouse or conservatory. Requiring little maintenance, a gentle trim in February or March will help keep its size within bounds.
