A plant of ancient heritage, Jasminum officinale is native to Central Asia and remains a timeless favourite in European gardens. This deciduous climber is often compared to Jasminum grandiflorum, but it is distinguished by its slightly smaller flowers. Each bloom is prized for its intense fragrance and striking bicolour appearance: pure white on the inside with delicate red tinges on the exterior. The foliage is composed of elegant, pinnate leaves with seven leaflets, providing a fine-textured look. Highly resilient and hardy to -18 °C, it is a classic choice for covering arches and pergolas in sunny positions.
