Stephanotis Hoop

Stephanotis Hoop

There’s something extra special about Stephanotis. Its glossy deep-green leaves, twining vines, and clusters of waxy white flowers give it an elegant, old-fashioned look, and training it around a hoop turns the whole plant into a beautiful living display.

Also known as Madagascar Jasmine, Stephanotis is especially loved for its flowers. The star-shaped white blooms have a wonderfully sweet fragrance and have traditionally been used in wedding bouquets, which is why you may also hear it called Bridal Wreath or Bridal Veil Vine.

The hoop gives the naturally climbing vines something to wrap around while keeping the plant compact enough to enjoy as a houseplant.
