Genus: Jasminum
Many people come across this flower in the form of a tea when dining at a Chinese restaurant - but the name comes from the Arabic name ‘yasmine’ and it represents amiability and grace in the language of flowers.
A genus of over 200 shrubs and climbers with star shaped flowers that are often very fragrant and used in scent making and of course in tea! Colours come in shades of creamy-yellow, white and pink.
J. nudiflorum or winter jasmine is a nice addition to your winter garden as it bears yellow flowers on leafless stems in winter and early spring.

I have new Jasmine thet I put in last August. It flowered quite well in it's first winter, so yours should too.

According to my plant 'bible', this will reach three to five metres (10 to 15 feet) and flowers in late summer

You haven't said where you are, so it's hard to advise you. My book tells me that J.polyanthum is frost tender and in the UK would need to be grown as a house plant in a Conservatory. it needs light but not direct sun. In growth, water freely and feed with a low-nitrogen liquid fertiliser monthly. In winter, water sparingly. I hope that this helps. Good luck.

This is one of the better Jasmins it is always a bit slow to start but once it gets going it is very very vigorous and certainly does not need feeding,

Actually got really grumpy and ignored it - the first year it looked just about dead so I cut it back quite harshly. Seems alright now though! I was given it while it was in flower last year and now I throw it the odd compliment while sniffing deeply! I dont feed anything in my garden except the slugs it seems...

Interesting. Did yours start off with yellowish leaves? I put a new one in this year, and it has not grown much but has a few flower buds coming. Did you feed yours? - or just talk nicely to it?

Will be nice to see in the Winter when everything else is laying dormant.
Will certainly brighten winter up.
