Summer jasmine, also known as jasmine nightshade, comes from the tropics of South America and has now gained a wide following among our local plant lovers. How can you best showcase this heat-requiring plant with other plants?
Which plants go well with summer jasmine?
To combine summer jasmine effectively, choose plants with a long flowering period and similar location requirements. Hanging petunias, candytufts or magic snow fit in the balcony box. Dipladenia, clematis or trumpet flower harmonize in the pot.
What factors should you consider when combining summer jasmine?
In order to visually enhance the summer jasmine through the combination and not disadvantage it, you should consider the following factors:
- Flower color: white
- Flowering time: May to October
- Location requirements: sunny, permeable and nutrient-rich soil
- Growth height: up to 3 m
It is worthwhile to ensnare the summer jasmine with companion plants that will bloom for just as long. It is therefore best to choose plants that bloom all summer long as partners for summer jasmine.
A south-facing location that ensures plenty of warmth for summer jasmine is necessary for it to grow happily. Its plant neighbors should have similar location requirements.
As a climbing plant, summer jasmine can reach heights of up to 3 m. Pay attention to this growth behavior, which tends to develop overhanging without a climbing aid, and combine plants that match.
