Flowering Jasmine is one of the most commonly found jasmines, belonging to the olive family. It was introduced to Europe in the 16th century. It is easy to grow but should be kept indoors during winter as it is not frost-resistant (down to -5°C). The flowers grow at the tips in small clusters. It blooms from June to October and has a very intense fragrance. Flowering Jasmine can grow up to 3 meters. It prefers a warm, sunny position, and should be sheltered from freezing and strong winds.
This evergreen shrub naturally grows up to 4 meters in height. When growing jasmine in a pot, we can trim it as needed.
Uses: It is grown as an ornamental plant. The flowers provide jasmine oil, which is used in perfumery as a primary fragrance raw material. It is trained on supports.
Flowering: The flowering period lasts from early summer to autumn. During this time, white and beautifully fragrant flowers grow at the ends of the shoots.
Care: The plant should be well-lit throughout the year but should not be exposed directly to the sun. The optimal temperature in summer is 20-22°C during the day and 10-13°C at night. In summer, jasmine can be placed outdoors in a sheltered spot, away from wind. Jasmine should be watered with soft water regularly, but not excessively, and sparingly in winter. It is also important to provide proper supports for the plant to climb. It requires humus-rich soil. Climbers planted in the ground should be hilled up and covered with spruce mulch before the first frost.
Pruning: Once the flowering period ends, it should be strongly pruned (to half its length) as this greatly encourages branching and ensures a more abundant flowering.
