Jasminum multipartitum, the starry wild jasmine, African jasmine, or imfohlafohlane, is a species of jasmine, in the family Oleaceae, that is native to Southern Africa.[1]
This 3-metre-tall (9.8 ft) scrambling climber, that can also be grown as a 1.5-metre-tall (4.9 ft) shrub, thrives in the sun or semi-shade. It produces masses of white, scented, star-shaped flowers and it attracts a variety of birds.[2] It flowers from late spring to summer.
