Description
Winter jasmine (Jasminum nudiflorum) is a deciduous, semi‑climbing shrub that defies the winter dormancy of most plants. From December to March it produces bright yellow flowers directly on its still‑green, bare stems. The trailing vines create a light‑green curtain along walls and trellises, adding structure to beds even in cold months. Though its scent is faint compared to its summer‑blooming relatives, it impresses with its early flowering and compact growth when trimmed after blooming.
Care instructions
Plant in a sunny to partially shaded spot, preferably against a wall or trellis, as it is not a true climber and needs support. Use a well‑drained, moderately fertile soil; the plant does not tolerate waterlogging. Prune immediately after flowering in spring to encourage new shoots for the next winter and to maintain a dense habit. In very cold areas, a mulch layer around the roots protects young plants during their first winters. Water moderately during dry summer periods; the plant is tolerant of occasional drought.
