Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Medicinal | Edible Uses Latin Name: Jasminum nudiflorum Common Name: Winter-flowering jasmin Family: Oleaceae Author: Lindley. Known Hazards: None known Mature Height: 3.6 Mature Width: 4.5 Habitat: Not known in a truly wild situation.
Cultivation Notes: Succeeds in a good well-drained loam[1]. Grows well in heavy clay soils. Prefers a good soil and a sunny position but succeeds in shade[11, 28, 49], including on a north facing wall[200]. Tolerates very poor soils, whether acid or alkaline[202]. Tolerates urban pollution[200].
A very ornamental plant[1], it is hardy to about -15°c[184]. Some winter die-back can be experienced and flowers can be damaged in severe winters but new flowers are usually produced when the weather warms up[202].
A winter-flowering plant, flowering mainly on wood that was produced the previous summer[219]. Pruning can be carried out in early to mid spring once flowering has finished[202, 219]. Removing one third of the oldest growth down to ground level rejuvenates the plant and encourages greater flowering[202]. Unpruned plants tend to become woody and matted with dead stems[219]. The flowers have a delicate mossy perfume[245].
This species does not set seed in British gardens. This might be because all the plants in cultivation stem from one original importation[182].
An ideal plant for growing on shady walls and banks[28, 49].
Plants in this genus are notably resistant to honey fungus[200].
