Star Jasmine. I screwed chicken wire sections with washers above the door to give it something to attach to it once it got tall. The suckers seem non-destructive which is good.

It's great.

However... two caviates/notes
1. Buy decent sized established plants - I bought 6 cheap little plants for £6 and they took forever to establish and grow... some still haven't really. Once the ones in good spots got going they've done well, but don't be cheap like me.
2. Feed - if you want flowers they need to be fed. I use VITAX Q4 Fertiliser
After many years of doing the wrong things, last year I finally got the flowers and the scent I was after

Hoping to get the same this year.

*Or according to my 2021 order 'Hardy Jasminum Officinale Perennial Climbing Shrub' reading fail. Ignore that.

After many years

We ripped one out years ago when the neighbours did their extension. They were very pleased and said they hated it.

Little did they realise we took cuttings which have taken forever to get going but are beginning to show results.
