Jasminum humile 'revolutum'

I have a Jasminum humile 'revolutum' ,1 year old and currently in a pot.
I am thinking of putting it at the back of a sunny border behind a Solanum crispum 'Glasnevin' (growing over an arch) and between a lilac (left) and a Pittosporum tenuifolium 'Limelight' (right).Position would be roughly where the black cross is and behind the arch.
The lilac always has leaves etc.high up and was wondering if the Jasmine would be suitable for scrabbling through all these plants?
Does it sucker,is it rampant,is it easy to prune etc.
Any thoughts welcome!

It's not very hardy, a sprawling sort of shrub.
I just jhad a look at the Burncoose site and they say down to -5C. That wouldn't (didn't) survive for me, I don't know where you are.

I am on the Isle of Wight so -5C is a rarity.The border is South facing and sheltered so hardiness is not such an issue.
It is really the placement of the Jasmine I was wondering about.
As you say it is sprawly which might be OK as it can scramble through the shrubs that are already in place.
The Jasmine was only £2 last spring in Morissons!
It could do well for you mp.
Mine didn't last long enough for me to comment on growth habit.
I hope someone else can advise
