Tuscan Jasmine (Trachelospernum)
Does my Tuscan Star jasmine need trailing as it climbs?
Yes, this is best done by tying your Trachlospernum upwards along a trellis as it grows, or by regularly attaching it to your fence. Because this climber does not grow very fast, you will not need to do this on a weekly basis. In its natural setting, this Jasmin grows as a groundcover until it finds a tree along which it can climb upwards.
