Star jasmine, scientifically known as Trachelospermum jasminoides, is a popular evergreen vine prized for its fragrant, star-shaped white flowers and glossy green foliage. It's a vigorous grower that can be used as a climber on trellises, fences, and walls, or as a ground cover or hedge. Despite its name, it's not a true jasmine, but it shares the characteristic sweet fragrance.
