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...

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,

Scented plants often look wonderful and this one's no exception. Jasmine species include white, yellow and pink flowers, and they make substantial statements in gardens with their rampant, climbing growth.
* Plant Type: Perennial
* Height: 6.01m (20ft)
* Spread: 3.01m (10ft)
* Situation: Sunny to shady
* Soil Type: Medium rich
Small jasmine plants are widely available in nurseries, so you can plan your garden to benefit from maximum scent. Try under or beside a window, where the scent can waft in, or around a seat in the garden, or up a pergola or orchard tree.
Alternatively, jasmines make ideal houseplants, for their scent can fill a room. Try other jasmines with yellow flowers, or variegated leaves in a darker part of a garden that needs jazzing up. Leave your new plant to grow for a couple of years before thinking about taking out any old growth.

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?
