How to Build a Jasmine Flower Cage

Jasmine grows in a wide range of varieties, but always features bright, sweetly fragrant flowers and long climbing vines. Some jasmine, such as common white jasmine, reaches heights of 20 feet or more. All climbing vines, however, need support to reach their mature height. Plant jasmine against a wall or fence for climbing and build your own trellis cage with chicken wire or trellis netting to support the vines.

Trellis netting/chicken wire
Scissors/clippers
Staple gun
Cord ties

Instructions

- 1
  Cut a length of trellis netting or chicken wire for the trellis system. Make the trellis long enough for extended growth and as tall as the wall for best coverage.
- 2
  Staple the netting or chicken wire to the wall behind the jasmine to secure it. Put a staple at every 1 to 2 feet along the wire or netting. Staple multiples pieces of netting or chicken wire to build a larger trellis, or add more as the jasmine grows.
- 3
  Tie the jasmine vines back to the trellis in an upward and outward pattern for support and coverage. Use soft cord ties and secure only main stems. Foliage and flowering stems break easily, so tying these will damage the plant.
