I presume I must have planted this, probably last year. Its now grown to a height of about 8ft with little encouragement from me. I' d like to plant more along my fence but need your help to identify it

Looks like wisteria to me. If it is it produces long whippy stems that you can either train in or prune off at this time of year. Eventually it should produce beautiful hanging sprays of flowers in May although I think it takes a few years to flower. They last forever and are a very special addition to the garden. That’s if I’m right about what it is!

Ooh I was going to say Jasmine - my wisteria has the sets of leaves alternating, not symmetrical like this?

It could be Campsis. Upload a photo to Google.

I might well be wrong! I have an app that I use to identify what’s popped up in my garden

If you want the exact same plant, you could always try taking a few cuttings from it?

Looks similar to my mum’s climbing Hydrangea

Foolish1984 · 10/09/2026 16:43

I was wrong! It’s Jasmine

Don’t think it’s Campsis, they have creases/pleats in the leaves. I’d say jasmine as the leaf stalks are exactly opposite coming off the stem

Pootles34 how would I grow new plants from cuttings?

There’s more than one plant in that photo but the one I guess you are asking about looks like a jasmine to me. It roots very easily when stems bow down and touch the ground. Alternatively, cut off some slightly woody sections of stem and place them in a glass of water. Strip away the leaves below the water level. Wait for roots to appear, then plant in the ground.

It grows like crazy when it really gets going. I had to get rid of ours as it had scrambled right up the drainpipe and was trying to climb in through the upstairs bathroom window.
