Description

Stephanotis floribunda is an elegant evergreen climbing plant admired for its glossy dark green foliage and highly fragrant, star-shaped white flowers. Blooming mainly from spring to summer, it adds a refined tropical character and a rich sweet scent to gardens, patios, and balconies. It is especially valued for decorative use around arches, trellises, and pergolas, as well as for its flowers in floral arrangements. In Cyprus, it performs best in warm, sheltered positions protected from strong wind and cold. It prefers bright light, full sun to partial shade, and well-drained fertile soil with regular watering during active growth. Ideal for decorative containers, patios, pergolas, and protected garden areas.
