Description
The Trachelospermum asiaticum 'Theta' is a surprising newcomer to the kingdom of these pretty climbing plants commonly known as star jasmines. This one, with modest dimensions, behaves like a small vine, or spreads as a unusual and graphic evergreen ground cover. Its small dark, shiny leaves with silver veins in the centre take on beautiful reddish hues in the cold and shade, and are adorned with a few pleasantly scented white-cream flowers during the summer. It can be planted in the ground in regions with mild winters, near a fence, trellis, or for an even more surprising effect, in a planter or large pot on the terrace where it will happily overflow.
The Trachelospermum asiaticum, also known as yellow false jasmine, is a Japanese and Korean cousin of the Chinese Trachelospermum jasminoides. The recently obtained selection 'Theta' is interesting for its compact growth, its more or less climbing, trailing, or cascading habit depending on the case, and its unusual foliage. All these plants belong to the Apocynaceae family. This small voluble vine produces stems not exceeding 2m (7ft) in length. They bear small, simple leaves, about 4-5 cm (2in) long and 1 cm (<1in) wide on average, entire, very narrow and sagittate, with a pointed tip. Their colour is a dark green, with a glossy finish, marked by a green-silver zone along the central vein. As soon as the temperatures drop and throughout the winter, they turn purple-violet. The flowering, not very abundant in this variety, takes place from May-June to July, on mature plants. A few small star-shaped, helicoidal, white-cream flowers appear in the axils of the leaves or at the tips of the branches. Their fragrance, reminiscent of jasmine, is however much sweeter, strongly impregnated with vanilla and biscuit.
This 'Theta' false jasmine, moderately hardy (down to -10°C (14°F)), is an accommodating plant that prefers well-drained soils that remain moist. It surprises and seduces with the unique graphic design of its foliage, especially when overflowing from a large pot on the terrace or covering the ground at the edge of a pathway, for example. In this use, it can be accompanied by spring-flowering bulbs such as narcissus, hyacinths, grape hyacinths, or tulips, which will pierce through the mass of its foliage. In return, once their flowering is over, the foliage will elegantly conceal the remnants of their yellowed vegetation. With relatively slow growth, this Trachelospermum asiaticum can also eventually cover a not too extensive trellis or a small pergola. Growing it in a pot allows for winter protection. It can easily be stored in an unheated conservatory to enjoy its beautiful winter foliage.

Planting and care
Plant Trachelospermum asiaticum in a sunny or semi-shaded position in a fertile, well-drained soil, without excessive limestone, remaining moist, sheltered from cold winds. It can tolerate -10°C (14°F), occasionally even -12°C (10.4°F), but will better withstand severe frosts if the foliage is protected with a winter veil. During growth, water once or twice a week, depending on climatic conditions, and apply liquid fertiliser twice a month. You can prune it lightly at the end of winter to control the plant's growth or after flowering. Cultivating it in pots is entirely possible for this compact 'Theta' variety. This allows the plant to be sheltered from severe frosts.

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.
