Cultivation guidelines for Trachelospermum asiaticum Star of Milano®
Plant Trachelospermum asiaticum Star of Milano® in well-drained, fertile soil with moderate moisture retention. Spacing should allow 80–100 cm between plants for optimal growth and airflow. Provide sturdy vertical supports at planting to guide its twining stems. Water regularly during establishment, then moderately once roots are developed, avoiding waterlogging. Apply a balanced slow-release fertiliser in spring to promote foliage density and flowering. Light pruning after flowering will maintain shape and encourage lateral shoots. Mulching helps protect roots during colder months and supports consistent soil moisture.
