Description

A popular climbing plant best on a sunny wall, Jasminum beesianum has pale green leaves and slightly scented, rose pink / purple-red flowers in mid-summer. These colourful flowers stand out well against the green leaves. A particularly good climber when planted near an area of a garden which is often used for example by a back door, where the flowers can be fully appreciated!
