How to Grow Jasmine

Jasmine plants, native to warm and tropical climates, produce beautiful, fragrant flowers that provide colorful decoration when fresh or dried. Perfumers often make use of jasmine oil, and the plant also has beneficial medicinal properties. Dried jasmine flowers make a flavorful addition to some teas, as well. Consider growing jasmine in your garden to delight both your eyes and nose.

Instructions

    1

    Plant jasmine between June and November. Consult the indications for a particular jasmine species to determine its ideal climate zone.

    2

    Choose a warm, sunny spot to plant your jasmine. Jasmine grows best in moist soil that drains well.

    3

    Eliminate weeds from the area where you intend to plant your jasmine. Dig a pit large enough for the jasmine bush, then fill the pit with manure. Make sure that you place jasmine plants at least 8 feet apart. Jasmine plants grow tall, so make sure the plant has plenty of clearance.

    4

    Water jasmine plants liberally. Add mild fertilizers to the soil around your jasmine from time to time, but not during winter while the jasmine plant rests.

    5

    Tie young jasmine stems to stakes or trellises to provide sturdy support for the plant. Otherwise, stems tend to bend under the weight of the jasmine.

    6

    Pinch the jasmine plant tips to encourage growth. Prune regularly, but not after August 1, or your plant may not flower.
