Has grown well. Very pretty foliage. Had a few white flowers. I believe that the cold and rain in spring and part of summer 2024 unfortunately contributed to limiting the flowering...

Description

The Jasminum officinale 'Aureum' or White Jasmine, is a beautiful climbing perennial, interesting for both its highly fragrant pure white flowers and its golden yellow foliage.

From June to September, this 4m (13ft) tall plant forms a wall of star-shaped flowers with 5 petals, pure white with pink buds, 2 to 3 cm (1in) in diameter, with a strong fragrance. Its golden leaves, semi-evergreen depending on the region, turn green summer the months. They are carried by voluble stems that twine around their support.

The 'Aureum' Jasmine officinale likes a well-worked, deep, humus-bearing soil, rather acidic and without stagnant moisture, in a sunny position, sheltered from the wind. Hardy to -15°C (5°F), mulch the ground to protect the base. It tolerates short-lived frosts by losing its leaves. The aerial part may freeze, but if the stump is well rooted, new shoots will emerge from the base. Pruning, after flowering, consists of removing old branches and reducing its size.

The White Jasmine is perfect for dressing trellises, fences, stair railings or balconies, arches and pergolas. In a container on a terrace, it will reveal its fragrance on summer evenings! Combine it with climbing roses or among perennials in a summer border!

Properties: Dried flowers in infusion soothe coughs and relieve headaches. Macerated in olive oil, they are used as a friction against neuralgia.

Planting and care

The Jasminum officinale 'Aureum' is planted in spring in a well-cultivated, deep soil, rather acidic and well-drained in full sun. Mulch the base in cold regions but coose pot cultivation if winters are very harsh. Water generously as soon as the flowers appear. A balanced pruning is sufficient after flowering. For pot cultivation, mix garden soil with turf or heather soil. Don't forget drainage with a layer of gravel at the bottom of the pot.
