Description
Jasmine ‘Clotted Cream’, also known as ‘Devon Cream’, is a delightful climbing Jasmine plant, so-called because of the creamy yellow colour of its flowers. These blooms are typically larger and more fragrant than other common Jasmine species, which has made it a very popular choice.
Plant in a moist, well-draining soil, ideally in a full sun position, against a climbing support for the biggest impact. Jasmine ‘Devon Cream’ is also ideal for patios, being suited to container growing.

Planting Steps
1Preparation
- Pot-grown plants can be planted at any time of year, whereas bare roots need to be planted between November and March.
- Clear weeds and grass within a metre of the planting hole.
- Dig a hole as deep as the root mass and twice as wide.
- To help your plant establish more effectively, sprinkle Rootgrow in the hole.
2Planting
- Gently loosen the roots and place into the planting hole.
- Ensure the top of the plant’s compost is flush with the level of the surrounding soil and the graft union or collar of the tree is above ground level.
- Mix 50% of the original soil with 50% compost.
- Fill in the hole, firming the soil gently.
3Last Steps
- Water generously around the base of the plant.
- If you are planting either a single stem tree or mature standard tree, we recommend adding a staking kit and rabbit guard.
Aftercare Advice
Trees and shrubs require a good watering regime for a couple of years whilst they establish. Water well and regularly through spring and summer, increasing in hot or dry weather. If planting in autumn, you may only need to water a little. It is advisable to keep the area free of competing weeds and grass during this period.
