Stephanotis floribunda is twining, evergreen climber with large, glossy leaves and thick stems. The deep green leaves contrast with clusters of white, heavily perfumed, star-like flowers that are abundant from spring to autumn.

Cultural

Stephanotis is best grown on supportive frame or trellis. Thrives in warm, humid environments. In cooler climates, plant in a position sheltered from strong winds and frost.
Soil:
Prefers a fertile, well-drained soil.
Aspect:
Full sun to part shade.
Maintenance:
Can be pruned lightly in spring to maintain shape; avoid cutting too harshly as this will remove flower buds. Apply slow-release fertiliser and mulch in spring. If older or plants require rejuvenation, cut back hard in spring.
Water Requirements:
Keep moist in the warmer months, water sparingly in winter.
Seasonal Interest:
Spring to autumn flowering.

Landscape Uses

An evergreen climber perfect for planting in warm north facing protected areas where it can climb over a structure, or on a trellis, so you can make the most of the fragrance. Waxy white perfumed flowers are often used in floral arrangements and bouquets. Plant in pots on a hoop or small trellis and keep inside to create a tropical feel.
