About Trachelospermum jasminoides Balls – Star Jasmine Balls

Trachelospermum jasminoides Balls, or Star Jasmine Balls, are excellent evergreen structural plants known for their dense, glossy dark green foliage and fragrant white star-shaped flowers that bloom from spring through summer. They maintain a strong, rounded form and respond well to shaping, making them perfect for topiary, hedging, or feature planting in formal gardens, courtyards, pots, and along driveways.

They look excellent when used as repeating structural elements or formal hedges in commercial and residential landscapes. Highly drought-tolerant once established, they thrive in full sun to part shade and adapt to various well-drained soils, including loam, clay, and sand. Their low maintenance and resilience to coastal exposure, light frost, and pollution make them a practical and attractive choice for Australian conditions.

For added impact, Star Jasmine Balls can be underplanted with shade-tolerant groundcovers or small perennials to create layered garden designs with texture and color contrast.
