Graceful foliage, very soft original colour without being dull; resistant to heat and sun; worth a try! Only one flower so far, so I won't comment on the fragrance, but it looks promising.

Description
Jasminum officinale 'Clotted Cream', also known as common jasmine or summer jasmine, is a new variety with large yellow-cream flowers, as strongly scented as those of the species, blooming almost continuously from July to September. It is an evergreen, semi-evergreen, or even deciduous woody climber, with light foliage of a beautiful bright green. It prefers well-drained soil, full sun, and sheltered conditions, or can be kept in a cold greenhouse.
The 'Clotted Cream' Jasmine belongs to the Oleaceae family. Native to China, specifically the Himalayan regions, it grows in woods, hedges, and along rivers. Relatively hardy, this jasmine is easily cultivated in open ground in areas where the temperature does not drop below -15°C (5°F) for short periods. This liana will reach a height of 2.5m (8ft), spreading up to 2.5m (8ft), with fairly rapid growth. The flowering period is remarkably long, lasting for three months. The plant is covered with numerous small clusters of star-shaped flowers, 3 to 5cm (1 to 2in) in diameter, pale yellow to cream in colour with an almost intoxicating fragrance. The foliage is composed of pinnate leaves with 7 leaflets, bright green, deciduous below -10°C (14°F), but evergreen if the temperature is milder. The stems become woody and light brown with age. The young branches, which bear the foliage, are green, glabrous (or weakly pubescent), and angular or channelled.
Jasminum officinale 'Clotted Cream' climbs on trellises, arches, pergolas, stair railings, or balconies. Plant it in a pot on a terrace to fully enjoy its intense fragrance.
Its highly fragrant flowers are used to flavor tea and are used in traditional remedies in Asia. The essential oil extracted from it is used in both perfumery and cooking. Its aroma can be found in maraschino cherries.

Planting and care
Jasminum officinale 'Clotted Cream' is preferably planted in spring, in moist, fertile and well-drained soil, in full sun and sheltered from cold winds. Mulch the base and water generously as soon as the flowers appear. When the temperature drops below -10°C (14°F), the aboveground parts of the officinal jasmine freeze and turn black. But if the base is well established, new shoots will emerge in spring. Pruning is necessary at the end of winter when vegetation growth starts. This plant tolerates drought well once established. It can tolerate partial shade, but flowering is more abundant in full sun. Avoid exposing it to cold drafts to preserve its flowers. In cold areas, plant the jasmine against a south-facing wall, which will provide it with some warmth. For container cultivation: choose a container of 50cm (20in), with good, rich, moist and light soil, specifically for Mediterranean plants. From early spring until mid-September, enrich with liquid fertiliser every 15 days, always on moist soil. In summer, it needs abundant watering, but in winter, allow the root ball to dry well between two waterings. The jasmine is very vigorous even in a pot and can become bare at the base. In this case, it is necessary to prune the old branches and leave only 3 young shoots. In winter, place it in a veranda or a temperate greenhouse, around 16°C (60.8°F), with plenty of light. Regularly spray the foliage with non-alkaline water, this will prevent attacks from red spider mites.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
