Trachelospermum jasminoides ‘Waterwheel’ is an evergreen climber grown primarily for its distinctive foliage rather than mass flowering. Its leaves are noticeably narrower than those of typical star jasmine, each marked with a lighter central tone that gives the plant a refined, textured appearance throughout the year. Seasonal colour shifts add further interest, with fresh growth often showing warmer hues that deepen in cooler conditions. In summer, small clusters of white, highly scented flowers may appear, though flowering is usually secondary to the foliage display. Best trained against a warm wall or support in a sheltered position, ‘Waterwheel’ is ideal for gardeners seeking an evergreen climber with a subtle, contemporary character and strong visual presence even outside the flowering season.
