Jasminum officinale


Jasminum officinale (Jasminum officinale)

Flowering well but it still hasn't grown up the trellis!

Does Jasmine have to have a trellis to groe up?
I never know how these "hold on" as they grow

You tie the first shoots in, then let it twine - 'normal' ones just take off!!
A trellis, or arch or wires on a wall/fence will all be fine.

Sadly, this plant is now in the great compost heap of the sky....:-((

It didn't thrive, and didn't grow, and I didn't like it sitting there doing nothing - those are the only flowers it produced!

When I dug it up, it just had one root into the soil, the rest were still pot-shaped. It must have been more pot-bound when I got it than I thought!

Oh thats a shame,
Ive bought one hoping that I could climb it over something on my oil tank (hideous contraption)

maybe I sould buy another for the other side so they meet!

If you can get it going, you won't need two - they really go crazy! Next door's plant takes up about 15' of wall, 10' high, and they are always cutting it back! That faces west, by the way.
