I'm about to fix a trellis in my new conservatory, I want to grow a
Jasmine on it.
I would like to paint it white before fixing on the wall, can
anyone reccomend a type of paint that would not be toxic to
Jasminium Stephanense please. It would be decorative rather than
protective.
Thanks

Sadolin White Woodstain
Water based, satin finish, long lasting. I have used it on exterior
woodwork and it has lasted in excess of 4 years. No prep needed,
around £12 per litre

Thanks for that, but is it non toxic to twining plants coming in to
contact with it?
Don
Very probably being water based but check the tin or perhaps find the
manufacturers website and ask them. Wood treatments (colourings and
water resistance improvers) which are water based are non-harmful once
applied and allowed to dry.

It may be more complicated but is it better?
