Star Jasmine in a Hanging Basket (?)
Comments (8)I've learned that interpretation of a floral scent is variable from person to person. With Confederate jasmine, which has an aroma that is VERY strong, the reactions tend to be love it OR hate it without much in between. ;-) It's way too strong for me to tolerate up close, but I don't mind it from several hundred feet away. I've seen people cover their noses when they walk by a mass of it in full bloom. But a small plant would be just about right. You can maintain it in a smaller container by annual root pruning, by the way. I've seen it used as a bonsai specimen....See MoreStar Jasmine

Comments (28)I bought a Star Jasmine at the beginning of this summer and repotted it into a large ceramic pot that I would say is about 20 gallon size. I had it on my deck getting morning sun all summer and now that it is getting cold at night I brought it inside. Is it normal for it to shed leaves this time of year? I also read some where that they bloom better if they are some what root bound is this true? If so I am thinking it wasn't such a good idea to plant it in such a large pot. Here is a picture of what it looked like during its blooming cycle....See MoreIs Star Jasmine a Slow Grower? Help!
Comments (2)I planted 6 plants in 3 gal pots in early May 2005. While in the pot they were 5' tall with at least five individual vines. I built an 8'high by 50' long galvanized post structure with #4 gauge galvanized 4x4 square mesh. After planting the vines, the total height was anywhere from 3-4 ft high. I fanned them out and weaved them in and out of the 4x4 squares to start them. Most of the runners reached the top withing three months. I'm in zone 8, if that helps. I learned late that pinching them back really acclerates branching. It's marvelous to see what this vine will do. By the way the flowers are white and smell wonderful. By this time next year the look of the old decaying wood fence will have been replaced with a solid wall of green!...See Moregardenguru1950
