  The highly scented flowers of this jasmine are larger than average, and they also have a soft pink tinge, so they really put on a wonderful display when they open from bud in summer. A great plant for a sheltered garden, it will be happiest when planted against a warm, south-facing wall, but do try to position it near a seating area or pathway so you can get the most from the perfume (which really is heady and strong) every time you pass by.
  
  
• Garden care: Plant Jasminum in a warm, sunny and sheltered location which helps to bring out the sweet fragrance of the flowers. If the soil is well-drained, it will cope with partial shade and colder positions, though it may suffer from frost damage in colder winters. When planting, add some soil conditioner (well-rotted compost) to the planting hole and some mycorrhizal fungi to aid root establishment. Grow Jasminum against appropriate support such as trellis or wires attached to walls and fences. Tie the shoots into their support as they grow.
