Product description
A native shrub of China, Jasminum Nudiflorum or Winter Jasmine is a popular garden plant due to its flowering habit, blooming bright, star-shaped yellow flowers in the winter which provide some much-needed colour in the cold weather and herald the coming spring. The long, trailing branches retain some colour even during the winter months, with deep green stems giving this jasmine the illusion of being evergreen. This vigorous shrub is great for vertical growing and can be trained for trellises and frames, though it does not produce supporting tendrils and must be tied.
Plant in fertile, well-drained soil in full to partial sun. Keep sheltered from the cold winter winds. An easy to grow, low maintenance plant that requires little attention, though it may be pruned after flowering to promote fresh growth.
Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Top Tip
Prune Jasminum after flowering to encourage bushy growth and remove dead or weak stems for a healthier plant.
How to Water
Water deeply and regularly during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in winter. Avoid waterlogging as it can harm the roots.
How to Plant
Plant Jasminum in fertile, well-drained soil in a sunny or partially shaded spot. Provide a trellis or support if growing a climbing variety. Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball, plant at the same depth as in the pot, backfill, firm the soil, and water thoroughly.
