JASMINUM NUDIFLORUM

Description and General Information

• Botanical Name: Jasminum nudiflorum

• Common Name: Winter Jasmine

• Plant Type: Deciduous, hardy, ornamental shrub

• Growth Habit: A vigorous, arching shrub often grown as a wall or fence cover, or trained over trellises; can also be used as ground cover on banks and slopes. Typically reaches 2–3 m in height with a similar spread if untrained.

• Foliage: Small, trifoliate, dark green leaves that drop in late autumn, leaving bare green stems through winter.

• Flowers: Star-shaped, bright yellow blooms around 2 cm across, appearing directly on bare stems.

• Flowering Period: December to March, offering valuable colour in the coldest months.

• Seasonal Interest: Stunning winter blooms before foliage emerges, followed by fresh spring leaves. Bare green stems also add subtle winter texture.

• Garden Uses: Ideal for training against walls and fences, cascading over raised beds, or as ground cover. Suitable for both formal and informal gardens.

• Wildlife Benefits: Early nectar source for bees and other pollinators in late winter.

• Hardiness: Fully hardy across the UK and Ireland, tolerating frost and snow.

Planting Conditions and Ideal Location

• Light Requirements: Prefers full sun to partial shade; best flowering occurs in a bright position.

• Soil Preferences: Adaptable to most soil types, provided they are well-drained; thrives in moderately fertile ground.

• pH Range: Neutral to slightly alkaline (pH 6.5–8.0).

• Moisture Needs: Average watering needs; dislikes waterlogging.

• Planting Time: Best planted in autumn or spring when the soil is moist and workable.

• Spacing: Allow 1.5–2 m between plants when used in groups to allow for spread.

• Shelter Needs: Hardy enough for exposed sites, but flowers last longer in a sheltered spot protected from harsh winds.

• Companion Planting: Works well alongside winter-flowering heathers, Cornus with colourful stems, and evergreen shrubs for year-round interest.

• Support Needs: If trained as a climber, provide a trellis, wires, or other supports. It is not self-clinging, so tying in shoots is necessary.

• Container Growing: Can be grown in large pots if given adequate support and regular feeding.

Routine Care, Feeding, and Seasonal Maintenance

• Watering:

  • Water regularly in the first year to establish roots.

  • Once established, only water during prolonged dry spells.

• Feeding:

  • Feed with a balanced slow-release fertiliser in early spring to promote healthy growth and flower production.

  • Top-dress annually with compost or well-rotted manure.

• Pruning:

  • Prune immediately after flowering in late winter or early spring.

  • Cut back flowered shoots to a strong side shoot lower down to encourage fresh growth for next season’s blooms.

• Mulching: Apply a 5–8 cm layer of mulch in spring to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

• Pest and Disease Resistance: Generally pest-free and not prone to serious diseases.

• Winter Care: Fully hardy; no special protection needed.

• Weed Control: Keep base clear of weeds to prevent competition for water and nutrients.

• Longevity: Can live for decades with minimal care, providing reliable winter colour year after year.
