Received a well-established pot of False Jasmine. I immediately planted it following the recommendations found on the website and now I'm eagerly waiting for it to establish itself so that I can observe its growth over time.

Description
The Trachelospermum asiaticum Chili & Vanilla® 'Livano' is a beautiful novelty that brings a bit of fantasy to the realm of star jasmines. This variety not only offers cream-yellow flowers that diffuse an extraordinary sweet fragrance that we appreciate throughout the summer, but also unusual fruits that resemble vanilla pods turning red like chillies. This voluble liana, adorned with small evergreen shiny foliage, also has the advantage of remaining attractive all year round. It can be planted near a fence, pergola, or in a container on the terrace.
The Trachelospermum asiaticum Chili & Vanilla is an American horticultural creation from Star Roses & Plants. It comes from the yellow false jasmine, a Japanese and Korean cousin of the Trachelospermum jasminoïdes of Chinese origin. All these plants belong to the apocynaceae family. The Chili and Vanilla star jasmine is a voluble liana that produces long stems that can reach up to 3m (10ft) long. They bear small, single leaves, about 6cm (2in) long and 3cm (1in) wide on average, entire, narrow, and ovate, with a pointed tip. They are a medium green color, with a glossy finish, often turning red during winter or early spring. The reddening leaves fall and are replaced by young, bright green leaves. The long and abundant flowering occurs from May-June to August-September, for almost 4 months, in successive waves, provided the soil remains somewhat moist. Small clusters of star-shaped, helical flowers, 2-5cm (1-2in) wide, appear in the axils of the leaves or at the tips of the branches. Their fragrance, reminiscent of jasmine, is however much sweeter, strongly infused with vanilla. After pollination by insects, elongated fruits form in pairs, somewhat resembling green beans joined at the base. They are green in color and gradually turn orange and then red. These fruits are toxic, like all plants in the apocynaceae family.
A single plant of this Chili & Vanilla false jasmine is capable of perfuming an entire area of the garden, especially in the evening and during warm weather. In most climates, except for the coldest ones, it can be planted in well-drained and humus-rich soil, in a sunny or semi-shaded location. This Trachelospermum asiaticum is most often used as a climber to cover a fence or pergola, but it can also form a magnificent ground cover, resembling a soft and fragrant carpet. It can be grown in pots in colder regions to be able to shelter it in winter. It can easily be stored in an unheated conservatory to enjoy its beautiful winter foliage. Balconies and terraces can also accommodate it by placing the plant in a large container.

Planting and care
Plant the Trachelospermum asiaticum Chili Vanilla in full sun or partial shade in a well-drained soil, without excess limestone, remaining moist, sheltered from cold winds. It can tolerate -10°C (14°F), and occasionally -15°C (5°F), but will better withstand very strong frosts if the foliage is protected with a winter veil. Once well rooted, it can tolerate periods of moderate drought. During growth, water once or twice a week and apply liquid fertilizer twice a month. You can prune it in late winter to control the growth of the plant or after each flowering.

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.
