Hi! Looking for guidance :) I am starting a patio-roof trellis with Star Jasmine next week and am hoping I can get my hands on some good tips here prior to diving in. I purchased 8 1-gal Star Jasmine plants, 5 of which I am starting from hanging planters around the perimeter of patio roof -- creeping on to patio ceiling --down our 5 columns, and the remaining 3 will be started at the base of the outside wall of my house under the patio. Being early Sept in Raleigh NC, I'm aware this time of year could come with some challenges. Any guidance, secrets or tips are well appreciated!! TIA!

Below is an AI rendering of what the final (.. probably year 3) result is that we are aiming for!

The major issues could be lighting and a late start in the growing season. I’ve grown star jasmine to cover a railing and lattice half wall. Started with a 1 gallon pot. Planted the jasmine in early spring. It grew 9 feet by 2 feet in one growing season. I would fear the roots would not grow out enough to survive cold weather if planted now.

You may have to move the hanging baskets in winter. Also, lighting could be too low under a covered patio to get the fullness. 🪴🍀
