Trachelospermum Jasminoides – Creepers & Climber

The scientific name of the Rhyncospermum is Trachelospermum jasminoides from Apocynaceae family. It is a climbing shrub, composed mostly of tropical and subtropical plants moreover it has a particular resistance to even harsh climates.  

it is proposed as a wall or trellis climber, or with a structure that conforms it to a sapling. In the latter case, it must be maintained with subsequent pruning, which however will not compromise the blooms. We are talking about an evergreen perennial with paired woody stems which, without support, take on a shrubby behavior becoming drooping. 

If it is grown on support, its branches can reach lengths of up to ten meters. Because it has a fast growth, it is used to create green walls and screens, on which the showy and fragrant white flowers stand out. These are very similar to those of jasmine, gathered in bunches of 8-10 with a star-shaped corolla and five-petalled tubular, hermaphrodite; emerge on the new vegetation of the current or previous year.
