Jasminum (Pink) - Height 75-120cm - 9lt

The Jasminum beesianum, commonly known as Beesian jasmine, is a deciduous or semi-evergreen climbing shrub belonging to the Oleaceae family. Native to western China, this vigorous plant is prized for its elegant growth habit and vibrant flowers. It thrives in temperate climates and is well-suited to wall-side planting or trellises, where its arching branches can sprawl and climb, adding vertical interest to gardens.

The Beesian jasmine is particularly noted for its deep pink to crimson flowers, which bloom in early to mid-summer. The blooms are small, star-shaped, and fragrant, releasing a light, sweet scent that is less overpowering than some of its more common jasmine relatives. These flowers appear in clusters, creating a striking contrast against the backdrop of its foliage. The leaves are lance-shaped, dark green, and arranged oppositely along the stems, contributing to its lush appearance.

In terms of cultivation, Jasminum beesianum prefers a position in full sun or partial shade and benefits from a sheltered spot to protect it from harsh winds. It thrives in well-drained, moderately fertile soil, with regular watering to keep the roots moist but not waterlogged. Once established, it is relatively low-maintenance, though occasional pruning after flowering can help manage its shape and encourage further growth.

Though less common than other jasmine species, Jasminum beesianum is valued for its hardiness and ability to bring colour and fragrance to outdoor spaces. It also provides excellent cover for walls and fences, making it both an ornamental and practical addition to a garden. With its rich pink flowers and climbing nature, this jasmine variety brings a touch of  beauty to any setting.
