Pink Jasmine

Choose a location in your garden that receives full to partial sun when planting your pink jasmine staked. so the soil should be well-drained. Remove the plant from its container by digging a hole twice the size of the root ball. Backfill the hole with soil, making sure to tamp it down firmly to remove any air pockets. Soil should be well-draining.  Water thoroughly after planting.

When it comes to care, Pink Jasmine enjoys a good drink of water, but don't overdo it. Allow the soil to dry slightly before watering once more. During the growing season, fertilize your staked Jasminum polyanthum every 4-6 weeks with a balanced fertilizer. 

Pink Jasmine plants appreciate some pruning, so feel free to give yours a trim if it becomes overgrown. The spent flower stems can look a little unsightly but a quick shearing or pruning will tidy up the plant.  Best to prune after blooming in spring.  

Plant your Staked Pink Jasmine next to a structure or use a trellis form to provide the vine with the support it requires as it grows. Use ties or wires to support your Pink Jasmine vine.

Best in full sun in coastal gardens but will appreciate some afternoon shade in hot, dry inland climates.

Q: Why is it hard to find Pink Jasmine in retail nurseries in June?
A: For most retail nurseries this vine sells best when in bloom for its fragrance and pretty profusion of buds and petals which is generally in February when few other plants can compete for attention. Unfortunately, the first flower flush seems to stop blooming at the same time and then hangs around like leftover crepe paper streamers - less attractive for impulse sales. Although your Pink Jasmine may arrive as a green staked vine without flowers, it will delight your senses in your garden for years to come.

Q: Will this vine take over my yard?
A: No. This twining vine is fast-growing but can be maintained to desired size with shearing.

Q: Will this vine stick to my brick walls and ruin it?
A: No, Pink Jasmine is a twining vine. The new growth twists around a support or other stems; it does not have tendrils or any special growths along the stems that will hold fast to brick, stucco, or other building materials. Pink Jasmine will need wire or ties to train or support the plant upright. 

Q: Can I grow this as a ground cover?
A: Pink jasmine can be grown in hanging baskets so why not as a ground cover.  It would be beautiful cascading over a wall of a raised bed. As a ground cover it is mostly a sprawler not a crawler, it will not root where the stems are touching the ground. Remove ties on the support stake and gently remove the stake from the pot. Prune to encourage new growth if the vine is twisting over itself.
