My Bignonia false jasmine arrived at great speed. It was fresh and very well packaged, and had absolutely not suffered from the journey. I planted it straight away and it seems to me that it feels right at home in Nice! Thank you!

Description
The Pandorea jasminoides 'white' (synonyms Bignonia or Tecoma jasminoides) is a beautiful form with white-pink flowers and a pink-purple throat of this true natural wonder, whose ground cultivation is reserved for warm regions. It is a vigorous cousin of our trumpet vines, with voluble stems, evergreen, and its long summer flowering is enhanced by lush foliage of a very vivid green. It blooms generously, displaying beautiful clusters of funnel-shaped flowers. While its cold resistance is very limited, this trumpet vine thrives in fertile and well-drained soil as long as it has the necessary sunlight to bloom well. It is also a superb vine to adorn the terrace, as it is easily grown in a container and can be stored during winter.
The Pandorea jasmin is another species of the Bignoniaceae family. It is native to Southeast Australia, specifically the sclerophyll forests in this region governed by a humid tropical climate. It is a vine with a woody stump and strong rambling branches, which can spontaneously wind around a support. It can reach 6 to 8 m (20 to 26ft) in all directions in good condition when planted in the ground. In a container, its growth will be more modest. The vegetation is destroyed at -0°C (32°F), but the well-established stump protected by a thick mulch can survive short freezes around -5°C (23°F): it is a plant suitable for ground cultivation in zones 9b, 10, and beyond.
The flowering takes place from May-June to September. The flowers bloom at the end of the year's shoots and in the axils of the leaves, grouped in ramified clusters. They have widely flared trumpet shapes, long and 6-8 cm (2-3in) wide. Each flower is composed of a tube widening into five rounded and undulated lobes. Their colour is a pinkish white, enhanced by a dark pink throat. This lightly scented flowering is nectar-bearing and attracts bees and bumblebees. The foliage remains evergreen in winter in appropriate climates. It comprises leaves divided into 5-7 large ovate to lanceolate leaflets of a light and glossy green with smooth edges. In case of frost, all above-ground parts of the plant are destroyed. But it will regrow from the stump later in spring.
The Pandorea jasminoides 'white' deserves a prominent place on the most sheltered facade of the house or, even better, in a large pot on the terrace during the beautiful season. It can be used in a thousand ways in a garden with a very mild climate, to cover a pergola, a slightly bare tree in autumn or winter, to cover a sheltered wall, an unsightly building, a south-facing facade. This exotic plant needs to be fully protected from frost during the first years of cultivation. That is its only requirement, as it thrives in deep and adequately prepared soil without excess limestone. In hot climates, occasional watering is necessary to support flowering.

Planting and care
The Pandorea jasminoides is a plant that is not very demanding on soil type but is not very hardy. It grows in deep, loose, well-drained garden soil without excessive limestone, enriched with leaf compost. It tolerates a lack of water once established in the ground and is resistant to sea spray. In fertile soil that remains moist, its growth will be multiplied, and its flowering will be abundant in summer. It prefers a very sunny and warm exposure to flower well. Plant it along a well-exposed wall or against a tree, initially guiding the young voluble branches. Water regularly to help your Pandorea jasminoides establish itself. Some spaced but abundant watering is necessary in case of dry summers. If your garden is in a borderline hardiness zone, prune your Pandorea to 60 cm (24in) from the ground, protect its stump from heavy frost with a thick mulch, and surround the base of the plant with a thick winter cover. Pruning is not essential. If it is necessary, do it in spring. Since this plant flowers on the branches of the year, if they are not pruned, they produce secondary branches, which will bloom during the season. Therefore, prune, leaving a few buds on each branch. You can regularly pinch the young branches to encourage branching.
If you cultivate your Pandorea in a pot, choose a large container (it grows very quickly) with a layer of gravel or clay pellets at the bottom for drainage. Fill it with garden soil, coarse sand, leaf compost, and well-rotted manure. Water regularly and abundantly in hot weather. Fertilise regularly. You can prune, but not excessively, to make it easier to bring your pot indoors to a bright location and keep it frost-free. Reduce watering in winter.

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).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
