Rarely seen in the UK, Gelsemium sempervirens is a captivating tropical climber that brings glossy evergreen foliage, exotic-looking flowers and unusual fragrance to sheltered gardens or bright conservatories.

In mild, southerly parts of the UK, this half-hardy, twining climber will grow in sheltered positions outside such as against warm walls or in protected courtyard spaces where its fragrant flowers appear in spring and early summer. Alternatively, it makes a spectacular conservatory specimen where its evergreen foliage provides year-round interest while its flowers offer an incredible winter treat – with blooming lasting around three months! Abundant clusters of 3cm long, funnel-shaped, golden yellow flowers with orange throats tumble from a curtain of slender, glossy foliage, the blooms releasing a sweet violet-like scent that hangs in the air.

This showy climber makes a superb choice for growing in a conservatory or planted into a patio pot and moved into a frost-free position to overwinter. Ultimate height: 2.5m (8.2ft) to 4m (13ft). Ultimate spread: 50cm (20in) to 1m (3.2ft).

Please note that all parts of Gelsemium are poisonous.

Growing Information

Half hardy climber - grow in a frost-free greenhouse or conservatory in bright light but with shade from the hottest sun. Water freely in the growing season but reduce watering over winter.

In mild climates, it can be grown outside all year with shelter from cold, drying winds. Alternatively, grow in a container outside during the summer months and move indoors to overwinter.

Live Plants

Suttons strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.

Non Standard Deliveries

What our customers say

"Very impressed with the quality of leek and broad bean seeds you sent. Excellent germination and look forward to a bumper crop. Will certainly be back."

E. Smyth

“I bought all my seeds, potatoes, etc. from your catalogue last year for my new ‘larger’ vegetable garden. I have to say I have never had such success in the garden. The germination was excellent; the quality of plant stock and produce is superb."

Sadie

“I am compelled to write to you and your staff for the exemplary service provided by your company, in an age where the word and term ‘service’ has lost its meaning.”
