| Jasminum nudiflorum (Winter Jasmine) |
From the family Oleaceae, which also includes Forsythias and Olives.
The Latin name of this plant (nudiflorum) is for this plant's flowers which appear before its leaves. This is a deciduous shrub that is best trained as a vine over a frame/trellis or arbor. You can also allow it to grow as a ground cover but be advised that it will readily root itself wherever it touches the ground!
This is a hardy and easy-to-grow plant which blooms from early Winter to early Spring. It requires full sun or part shade and is happiest in fertile (humus-rich), well-drained soil, but it will also tolerate poor soils. It tolerates pruning, and it is recommended to do an annual pruning after flowering to remove dead material and for shaping. Take note that flowers bloom on previous year's growth.
It is also easily propagated. Cut of green branches after flowering and just stick them in a pot of soil. Keep the soil moist and you will find after a short time that you will have a new growing plant!
