Growing Ideas for Star Jasmine

A climbing evergreen plant, star jasmine blossoms with aromatic blooms that are sought-after in the perfuming industry. In plant hardiness zones 8 through 11, the star jasmine plant thrives as a trailing groundcover or climbing trellis plant that prefers partial to full sunlight. If you have the environment necessary for this plant, the growing ideas are seemingly endless. Having some different ideas for growing star jasmine gives you the opportunity to beautify your home surroundings.

A trellis gazebo serves as an ideal growing structure for climbing star jasmine plants. You can create a secret romantic getaway in your own yard using one of these structures along with some of these trailing plants and other accents. Star jasmine can grow as large as 18 to 20 feet tall, and the circumference of the foliage of each vine can reach as large as 2 feet. With that kind of size, seven or eight of these plants can completely consume the outside of a small gazebo. Simply decorate the inside for any intimate gathering you'd like.

As a groundcover, star jasmine is just as large and lush as it would be if it were climbing up a structure. It serves as a high-foliage filler in lush, fragrant garden grass areas and when it blooms, your lawn comes to life. Scatter some star jasmine seed in with your lawn seed mix and enjoy the plush blanket of waxy-green leaves and bright-white flowers that spring up in the springtime months.

If you have cramped growing space and make use of a patio container garden, you can add a little privacy to your deck or porch with star jasmine. Growing star jasmine in roof-hanging flower boxes allows the vine to droop downward, giving the appearance of a tropical jungle in front of your patio. The privacy is an added plus to the aroma and shade provided by the plant.

Since star jasmine thrives best with adequate moisture, growing it near a pond or fountain area provides it with moisture and nutrition. This, in turn, improves the look and longevity of your vines. The added bonus is that your pond or fountain area will come to life with these quality flowers and the evergreen tones of the foliage. They also attract myriad butterflies, hummingbirds and other pollinating garden guests.
