Night Blooming Jasmine is Blooming!
Comments (1)Hey, we may have a new "fast-blooming jasmine" record here! What a nice way to bring back memories. Enjoy! Jim...See MoreAre Your Night Blooming Jasmines Blooming Right Now?
Comments (11)NBJ reminds me of Bouganvilla - it thrives on neglect . Those cut back take longer to bloom than those left alone . My original plant was cut to almost nothing and is returning with beautiful growth - no flowers yet . Cuttings that are several years old and received no trimming have buds but no open blooms - yet . You may be just far enough north of us that it might take a week or two longer for your plant to set buds . NBJ seem to like plenty of sun and to be in the ground . Cuttings practically root before your eyes . My best performing NBJ is directly under a strong security light that runs all night long . I think that no matter how much or how little you do for this plant , it will survive and do just fine . I recommend planting it in the ground . Then start cuttings and put those in the ground in different places under different conditions . That experiment will tell you more about your own garden and plants than we ever could ....See Morenight blooming jasmine without scent?
Comments (11)My night blooming jasmine is also without scent. It's four years old and only once in that time has it performed with its legendary deliciousness. Only when I stick my nose in the blossoms can I catch the faintest hint of aroma. With that said, the only thing this plant produces is exasperation. I've spent hours online for remedies which afforded many speculations, which include that my nose isn't working, but absolutely no solutions. There has to be someone out there who knows if there's a soil additive, special fertilizer, piped in music, voodoo chants or special prayer that will entice this robust, blooming, healthy plant to exude its famous fragrance....See MoreWhy doesn't my night blooming jasmine fill the air with scent?
Comments (20)Greetings! I found a Spanish Jasmine growing along a footpath, reglarly walked on, never fertilized or protected from frosts, and thriving! The fragrance is what attracted me, and when I saw the conditions it was growing under, well, I knew it would fit right into my garden! I looked around for rooted babies, and found 2, dug them up,(leaving the mother plant in place). 2 years later and they have started blooming, with a stronger fragrance in the evening. I don't fertilize them, planted them in ok soil and left them out in the frosty coastal winters, all the abuse they could stand and they came out smelling. If you think Spanish Jasmine can't take frost, it can take some, not a deep freeze, but some snow. Perhaps you give yours too soft a life, mine dry out regularly, get soaked in our monsoons,and to top it all off,on a third floor balcony that faces north, they live in pots, not the ground. I have found that many fragrant plants, esp herbs actually have a more pronounced flavor and fragrance when they need to struggle......See MoreRobert (zone 7a, Oklahoma)
