A few years ago, I spent a week working away in London. Next to where I was staying, on a trelice grew a very impressive Jasmine. It was a climbing variety and it had completely smothered the trellis running the entire length of a long front garden. But it wasn’t the sight of it that has stayed with me, but the heady, sweet scent. I remember being able to detect the scent of Jasmine from about 150 yards aways in the warmth early summer air. Ever since this encounter, I have had a great admiration for this elegant climber.
Jasmine ‘Clotted Cream’ – highly fragrant!
Masses of pretty creamy-yellow flowers adorn this semi-evergreen climber as it twists through trellis and trees. Let it create a fragrant tangle to disguise walls and fences whilst pervading the summer air with their exquisite perfume.
Jasmine Clotted Cream is a form of Jasminum officinale and is ‘usually deciduous’, dependent on the harshness of the winter season. Will rapid grow up to 6 feet high.
You can buy scented Jasmine ‘Clotted Cream’ from Thompson and Morgan.
Saw something similar in the South of France. The scent in the evening was simply overwheming.
