Trachelospermum
jasminoides 'Japonicum'
(syn Trachelospermum majus)
A vigorous evergreen
self-clinging climber the white very scented flowers are carried
in small bunches in the summer, not as tough as Trachelospermum asiaticum
so give it a warm wall (min -4c). the flowers are bigger
and whiter than asiaticum. Also worth growing as a conservatory
plant. Trachelospermum jasminoides 'Majus' used to be classed as
a separate species but is now regarded as a large vigorous form
of the type. Introduced by Fortune in 1844 from southern China.
