Star jasmine wall

Hello all
I'm new to this and recently started a garden project.
I'm looking to build a star of jasmine wall across the fence and was wondering what would be good a trellis to use and how to attach the jasmine

Thank you all

 

You could use vine eyes into the bricks then use fixings for concrete post such as these -
Concrete Post Fixings - Wire Anchors

That's what I have used in 3 areas of my garden and works very well using their nylon trellis wire and gripple connectors. I've had mine for about 7-8 years now and none have needed any maintenance.

Don't know where you are by SJ is not hardy in all of the UK.
They also grow very big - upto about 12m x 8m so it won't be long before both sides of the fence are covered.

Tie the flimsy new growths to the wires as they grow.
It will soon form a sturdy framework and the SJ will largely look after itself.
Keep watered in hot weather, if they dry out they often get an infestation of scale insects - but damage is not severe.

 

Hi retro

I agree with Pete it’s the winter weather in the UK , if more than -5 for two days it won’t survive.

You may get away with a warm wall well drained soil and fleece over the winter .
It’s a plant I really like as it does produce a lot of flowers and does a great job of screening.

I wish the people selling these plants would just be more honest .
All the above is my view but others here may disagree

Spruce

 

A scented Clematis with star like flowers may be another option to consider, like C. triternata rubromarginata. It is deciduous but hardy down to minus 20C (H6). The flowers have a sweet almond smell, borne in large numbers from July to September.

 

I second @Plantminded - it's a really pretty plant. In my garden it has been trying to start growing already despite the frost

 

You might be alright depending on where you are. I planted one a few years ago and so far it's survived the winters here, 8 miles from the Kent coast. Right now mine is still in full leaf and we've had lots of frosty nights, though none below -5.

If you're near the west or south coast it might be mild enough.

 

Can I jump in on this thread please for some advice on a similar conundrum.

I've got 2 metal trellises fixed against my back wall. It gets plenty of sun (if the sun ever comes out) and I'm in the north east (so think hardy/cold, but never -5).

The trellises themselves don't start until about 3 foot off the ground.
Can anyone give me a tip of what might cover this bare pebble dash wall. thinking of a couple of large pots/square planters below.

I do have some sort of climbing jasmine vine in my garden already on a different fence, but looking for a quick to mature kind of climber to make it pretty this summer hopefully. Glad to receive any tips.

 

@Novice Gardener Laura, if you want something quick and easy that will be happy in a container, try an annual climber like Thunbergia, Nasturtium or Morning Glory. They can often be bought as small plants in a Garden Centre from April onwards or can be grown from seed. I grew a Thunbergia up an obelisk last year, it was still flowering in November.
