Stephanotis floribunda
(Madagascar Jasmine)
Bring timeless elegance and fragrance to your garden or patio with Stephanotis floribunda, a beloved climber treasured for its clusters of waxy, white, star-shaped blooms. The richly scented flowers appear from spring through summer, filling the air with a sweet, jasmine-like perfume that is especially enchanting in the evenings. Its glossy evergreen leaves and twining stems make it perfect for training over trellises, pergolas or in large patio pots.
This tropical beauty enjoys warm, sheltered positions and thrives in bright light with some protection from harsh afternoon sun. Ideal for frost-free areas of South Africa, it grows beautifully in coastal and subtropical regions. In cooler zones, it can be grown in a container and moved to a protected spot during winter. Regular feeding and steady moisture will keep it lush and blooming for months.
