Jasminum x stephanense
Stephan Jasmine
Jasminum Stephanense is similar to Jasmine officinale but the deliciously sweetly scented flowers are pink instead. The early spring foliage is pale green with occasional cream markings and the growth is fast and prolific with an eventual height of 12m. It is quite happy in most soils as long as it is well drained. Being slightly tender it is best in a sheltered, sunny site when the flower scent will also be at its best, although it will tolerate partial shade. The flowering season is short, early to mid summer only, and so it is best grown alongside other climbers to extend the season.

Planting
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
All jasmines need a fertile, well-drained soil in full or partial sun. Summer jasmine needs a sheltered spot, full sun and a south- or south west-facing aspect. Winter jasmine is more tolerant of partial shade and a south east or north west aspect. North and north east aspects are best avoided. Frost hardy species are fine in an unheated conservatory or a cold greenhouse kept frost-free with a small heater. Tender species may require a minimum night temperature of 13-15ºC (55-59ºF). Jasmines make lovely container specimens. Ensure you use a container with good drainage holes. Cover the holes with a crock or too so that the compost does not wash through, and fill with John Innes No 2. Leave space at the top for watering, and place the pot in bright but filtered light.
