Plant in a sunny, preferably wind-protected location. When planting on walls, choose east and west walls rather than south-facing walls too exposed too the sun. Well-drained garden soil, if possible enriched with compost and sand. Low to medium water needs; doesn't tolerate wet feet (waterlogging)! Fertilisation beneficial. In mild climates and temps above -10°C year round, it can even be perennial without overwintering, but then it needs thick winter protection in the planting bed. In Leipzig, our star jasmine survived the mild winter of 2019/2020 well in an outdoor pot and was then planted out. However, only a few shoots covered in snow survived the harsh winter of 2020/2021. In colder climates then only suitable as a potted plant to be overwintered indoors in a  lit room (to support flower budding) at about 10° C.
