Description
If you want that “walk past and breathe it in” kind of plant, ‘Star of Toscana’ is the one. It’s a star jasmine with richer, warmer-toned flowers—creamy yellow with a golden glow—and the fragrance is every bit as intoxicating as you’d hope: sweet, summery, and unmistakably jasmine.
The glossy evergreen foliage makes it a gorgeous backdrop all year, and it’s ideal for training up a sunny wall, over a pergola, or around a doorway where you’ll catch the scent on warm evenings. In the right spot, it brings a real Mediterranean feel—soft, romantic, and quietly luxurious.
Where to Plant
- Sunny walls & fences: The warmer and more sheltered, the better
- Pergolas & arches: Perfect for creating a scented canopy
- Courtyards: Adds fragrance without taking up much floor space
- Large pots: Brilliant on patios (just give it a strong trellis/support)
How to Care
- Support: Provide wires/trellis; tie in young growth until it starts to twine confidently
- Watering:
- In ground: water well in the first year
- In pots: water regularly in summer; don’t let it dry out completely
- Feeding: A spring feed (and a summer feed in pots) encourages strong growth and flowering
- Pruning:
- Best time: After flowering
- How: Lightly trim to shape and keep it neat; remove any long, wayward shoots
- Winter care: In colder/exposed gardens, plant in the most sheltered position you have; in pots, protect the container from prolonged frost and cold winds
Why We Love It
- Incredible fragrance—one of the best scented climbers
- Warm, golden flowers for a softer, sunlit look than the white form
- Evergreen shine all year round
- Perfect for pots and small spaces where you still want big impact
Caragh Garden Notebook
Plant this where you live—by the back door, beside the seating area, near an open window—because the scent is the whole point. Give it sun, shelter, and something sturdy to climb, and it will turn an ordinary wall into a summer destination.
