A softer way to screen
Unlike heavier hedging or fencing, Evergreen Jasmine on a ground frame creates privacy in a much lighter, more graceful way. Its trained shape gives immediate definition, while the foliage and flowering habit keep the overall look soft and natural.

Fragrance that transforms a space
When in flower, this is one of those plants people remember. The small white starry blooms release a rich, sweet perfume that makes it especially lovely near outdoor seating areas, entrances or paths where the scent can be fully enjoyed.

Evergreen beauty with structure
Even when not in flower, the deep green glossy leaves provide year-round presence. Trained from the ground on a frame, it brings order and height without feeling rigid, making it ideal for both contemporary and more romantic garden styles.

Caragh’s Garden Notebook
- Plant in a sheltered, warm position for best flowering and winter performance
- Water regularly while establishing, especially in dry spells
- Tie in and lightly trim after flowering to maintain a neat frame
- Best in well-drained soil and avoid very exposed, cold sites
- A sunny wall or protected boundary will help it thrive
