Jasminum grandiflora
Jasminum grandiflorum, also known as Spanish jasmine, Royal jasmine, Catalan jasmine, or Sicilian jasmine, is a species of jasmine native to South Asia, the Arabian peninsula, East and Northeast Africa and the Yunnan and Sichuan regions of China. It is a scrambling deciduous shrub that grows to 2–4 m tall. The leaves are opposite, 5–12 cm long, pinnate with 5–11 leaflets. The flowers are produced in open cymes, the individual flowers are white having corolla with a basal tube 13–25 mm long and five lobes 13–22 mm long.
Planting: Jasminum grandiflorum is best planted in a warm climate with well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. The plant is drought tolerant and does not require much watering once established.
Fertilizing: You can fertilize the plant with a slow-release, balanced fertilizer in spring to help stimulate new growth.
Pruning: Jasminum grandiflorum should be pruned in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges. Cut back the previous year’s growth to about 6 inches above the ground.
Overwintering: Jasminum grandiflorum is tolerant to freezing temperatures, but it does lose its bright green color, turning brown after frost. If you want to overwinter it, protect it from frost by covering it with a thick layer of mulch or moving it indoors to a cool, dry location.
Pest and Disease Control: Jasminum grandiflorum is not often bothered by pests or diseases and is generally rabbit and deer resistant.
Uses: Jasminum grandiflorum is ideal for creating a tropical look in your garden or landscape. It can be used as a specimen plant or planted in groups for a dramatic effect. It also looks impressive in containers and can be used as an indoor plant if given enough light.
