What are Jasmine Flowers?

Jasmine flowers are tropical blooms that thrive in warmer climates. Most varieties have a distinct scent that is popular even off the vine. The smell of jasmine can be found in everything from teas to candles to soaps to lotion. Jasmine has bright green, glossy foliage and likes sun to light shade and relatively fertile, well-drained soil. Some jasmine plants are evergreen, meaning they will keep their green leaves year-round. While growing jasmine does require some effort, it’s well worth it, as the plant will put on a profuse, showy display of blooms that can liven up even the dullest of yards.

Jasmine Plant Care

Jasmine is not particularly hard to care for, but it does require some attention in the beginning and needs regular feeding and pruning. Learn how to care for a jasmine plant below.

Types of Jasmine

Jasmine is a member of the olive family. The most common types are grown as vines, but there are some varieties that work as ground covers or shrubs, too. There are about 200 different species of jasmine, which is native to warmer, temperate tropical climates. Jasmine plant types will all have slightly different needs, so it is important to know about the varieties before choosing which one to plant.

Common Questions About Jasmine

Is Jasmine an annual or perennial?

Jasmine is a perennial that will grow year after year. Different varieties have different watering, space and sunlight needs depending on what zone they are growing in.

How much sun does jasmine need?

All types of jasmine will do well in full sun to partial shade – exactly how much sun a plant needs each day will depend on the variety.

Can jasmine grow indoors or outdoors?

Jasmine can grow both indoors and outdoors. Dwarf varieties do best indoors, but vines can also thrive inside the home. Just pinch or prune the plant in the dormant season to maintain the desired height and shape.

Can jasmine survive winter?

Many gardeners choose to grow jasmine in containers so they can bring the plant indoors over winter. If bringing jasmine inside because of extreme cold, do so gradually, over about a week or so, to allow the plant time to adjust to less sun once indoors. A good way to make this transition is by bringing the plant in at night, and then returning it outside during the day time, increasing the hours you leave it inside throughout the week. Once it is inside permanently, place it in the sunniest spot of the house.

When does jasmine bloom?

Jasmine blooms in clusters from spring until well into the fall. The sweet flowers are most often cream, white or yellow, depending on the variety, and will attract bees and other pollinators.

How long do jasmine flowers last?

With enough sun and the right watering and feeding, jasmine flowers will stay open and fresh for you to enjoy for several months.

When Does Jasmine Bloom - Garden Tips 2022

Save for later!

0 shares

There are more than 200 different jasmine species, all of which are native to temperate or tropical climates. They come in different shapes and forms, all with small, sweet-smelling flowers that explode into color at some time during the year. Some species bloom for just a few months, others will bloom all year round. 

So, when does jasmine bloom? Different types of jasmine bloom at different times. But in general, you can expect to enjoy their pretty fragrant flowers from early spring until well into the fall. If you plant a few different species in your garden, you could have blooms all year round. 

What time of year does jasmine flower?

Jasmine belongs to the olive family. Two main types of jasmine are the common jasmine and star jasmine. Both are deer-resistant and virtually disease-free. 

Common jasmine, Jasminum officinale, is a large, deciduous climbing shrub that may also be grown as a vine or ground cover. It is also suitable for container gardens. Left to climb, common jasmine will reach a height of up to 10-15 feet tall.  

Jasminum Officionale is native to Asia and will grow well in USDA plant hardiness zones 7-10. You can expect to have jasmine flowers from late spring, well through the summer months. 

Star jasmine, Trachelospermum jasminoides, is a medium-sized shrub that has dark green leaves on twining vine-like stems. It is valued more for its glossy, green leaves that turn to shades of bronze rather than its sweet-smelling white flowers. 

And, the shock of shocks, it isn’t true jasmine at all. But you will still find information about it in Jasmine fact sheets including the one issued by the Clemson University Cooperative Extension Service’s Home & Garden Information Center.   

Also known as Confederate jasmine, star jasmine is often used as a climbing vine to cover walls and fences. It got this name in the 19th century when it was first imported from China and became popular in the south. 

Trachelospermum jasminoides is native to China and Japan and it grows well in USDA plant hardiness zones 8-10. It usually flowers from mid-spring to early summer. 

Factors that affect jasmine from blooming

Generally, jasmine is semi-hardy to hardy and the different species have similar needs. But you must be sure that you plant it in the right position where it will be exposed to sufficient sunlight.  

It also needs to be planted in suitable soil conditions and given sufficient moisture to thrive. It won’t bloom if your climate isn’t suitable. 

Position & Light

Jasmine does best in full sun to partially shaded areas, depending on the type or species. 

For instance, the spring-flowering Jasminum Polyanthum grows in both sun and sem-shade, while the autumn-flowering Jasminum sambac prefers full sun. Clotted Cream, a summer-flowering Jasminum officinale plant also prefers full sun. 

Temperature

Jasmine is typically semi-hardy to hardy and will thrive in USDA plant hardiness zones 7-10. This means that they will grow in temperatures ranging from about 0-5℉ to 35-40℉.

But all types do prefer warm temperatures. 

According to the Clemson Home & Garden Information Center fact sheet, if you grow Confederate jasmine indoors, the ideal day temperatures range from 68-72℉, and night temperatures should be between 50 and 55℉.   

Soil Preference

A good rule of thumb is to plant jasmine in well-drained soil that is rich and fertile. Add compost to improve the fertility of the soil. 

Moisture

Most types of jasmine have moderate water needs, so keep the soil moist.  

How long does jasmine bloom?

Here are some examples:

Jasminum Polyanthum blooms from late winter through spring. Its fragrant flowers last for only a few days at a time. But they are constantly replaced by new blooms throughout the flowering season.

Jasminum sambac, which is commonly called Arabian jasmine, flowers from late winter until the following fall. You can grow it as a twining vine, but interestingly, it only blooms at night!

Jasminum officinale Clotted Cream flowers throughout the summer months. It has larger jasmine flowers with more fragrance than most other varieties.

Jasminum nudiflorum, also known as winter jasmine, blooms in winter and early spring. It’s a deciduous, Viney shrub with a natural growth habit to climb and spread upwards.

But this jasmine plant also makes a great bank cover. It spreads by rooting naturally when the stems touch the soil, instantly becoming a ground cover. 

Jasminum Angulare, an evergreen vine that is only hardy in coastal areas, blooms in summer. Unlike almost all other types of jasmine, its white flowers don’t have any scent. 

Trachelospermum jasminoides blooms in the spring and summer months.  

How do you get jasmine to bloom?

As mentioned above, jasmine needs the right conditions to flower. Plant it in the right environment where the conditions are close to its natural habitat, and it will bloom. 

If it is too dry, or if you plant jasmine in the shade, it might grow, but it’s unlikely to flower. 

If you want to encourage rapid growth, a nitrogen-based fertilizer will usually do the trick. But the caveat is that it will tend to feed the foliage rather than the flowers. Also, you can use fertilizer or a nutrient that will boost flowering.  

Shop around and see what your local suppliers suggest, or what is available online. One suggestion is a water-soluble 7-9-5 fertilizer designed to boost flowering. 

A 15-15-15 fertilizer can also work in spring and summer. Discontinue in the winter months. 

If you want to get your jasmine to bloom, rather fertilize with plant food that is laden with phosphorus. This will encourage buds to develop and form healthy flowers. At the very least, use a good quality, standard balanced fertilizer. 

Don’t forget that jasmine generally likes to be watered regularly. Also, some types need a degree of humidity to bloom properly. 

If you’re going to prune jasmine, make sure you do it in midsummer. Many amateur gardeners have hacked off the next season’s buds before they have fully formed! 

That said, heavy pruning of most species will ensure that you get more and bigger blooms when it flowers again.

When grown indoors, it’s a good idea to keep the soil of your jasmine plants a little moister than you would if grown outside in your garden. Just make sure it doesn’t become waterlogged or it will be counterproductive and the plants aren’t likely to flower at all. 

If any type of jasmine is grown indoors and you want it to bloom, you will need to ensure it gets at least four hours of sunlight every day.  

Why is my jasmine not flowering?

Once your jasmine is growing, it should be a matter of time before it starts to flower. If it doesn’t flower, rethink the growing conditions you have subjected it to. 

While we’ve detailed the recommended conditions above, don’t forget that the right temperature and light conditions are essential for jasmine to flower. All jasmine species need full sun for at least part of the day if they are going to flower. 

What to do if your jasmine doesn’t bloom?

Here are some steps you can take if your jasmine doesn’t bloom. 

If it’s growing in the shade, replant your jasmine plant so that it gets at least six hours of direct sun every day in spring and summer. If you’ve got space against a sunny south-facing wall, it’s more likely to flower there. 

If your jasmine has been under-watered, it isn’t going to flower, because it’s likely to be suffering from drought stress. You can usually identify the symptoms from curling leaves, poor growth, and, of course, a lack of flowers. 

To check, gently dig around the roots of your jasmine plant. If the soil has dried out in spring this can be very damaging because it will prevent new flower buds from developing. 

Try changing your watering regime and ensure that the soil stays moist all the time. Don’t give it too much water to try and compensate because this will also stop the plant from flowering. 

If your potted jasmine isn’t flowering, a lack of water might be to blame. Remember that pots can dry out very quickly if you don’t water them regularly. 

You might also try repotting the plant into a bigger container where there will be good air circulation around the roots. As long as it isn’t too windy, keeping the pot near open windows or an open door can help to circulate air around the plant itself.   

Conclusion

The heady scent of jasmine growing in the garden is enough to persuade most gardeners to grow at least one type of jasmine. So, if your jasmine doesn’t flower, it can be heartbreaking.

Before you plant jasmine, make sure your climate conditions are suitable. Since different species flower at different times, check the label to see when you can expect your jasmine plants to flower. 

Follow our garden tips to make sure that the conditions in your garden meet the general needs of jasmine. These include temperature, soil conditions, plant nutrition (fertilization), and exposure to light.

Why is the bush not blooming?

If it's time for flowering, but nothing happens, then this is an occasion to think about the correct care. Why does jasmine not bloom and what can be done to make the plant bloom?

Main reasons:

  1. The height of bush exceeded 3 meters. The optimal growth of the bush is 1-2 meters, so it is necessary to regularly trim the shoots. nine0006

Flowering of jasmine at home

For experienced flower growers, home jasmine (Stefanotis) blooms throughout the year. For long-term flowering, it is recommended to pinch the tops of jasmine leaving eight pairs of leaves on each branch.

Why doesn't indoor jasmine bloom?

If flowering does not occur, the reasons may be as follows:

  1. Uncomfortable room temperature . The optimum temperature is from +16 to +18. The maximum temperature in the room should not exceed +23. At temperatures below normal, jasmine does not bloom and loses buds.
  2. Lack of moisture. It is necessary to carry out regular watering as the soil dries up, but do not allow the earthen clod to completely dry out. In case of dry air, it is recommended to humidify it.
  3. Light. As with outdoor jasmine, light is essential for a potted plant to flower. It must be scattered. It is important to avoid direct sunlight. In the shade, the plant does not bloom at all. nine0006
  4. Lime or acid soil. It is possible to normalize the balance of the content of substances in the soil with fertilizers or liming. For liming, a small amount of dolomite flour or lime is suitable.
  5. Planting depth. There are cases when, when transplanting a plant, the neck of the trunk is deeper than usual in the soil. In this case, you need to re-transplant jasmine.
  6. Pests and diseases. It is necessary to carefully study the near-stem plot of land, the reverse side of the leaves, internodes and the trunk itself. If a cause is found, treat with appropriate pesticides. nine0006

Sometimes, in order to achieve the desired flowering, you have to completely change the methods of caring for the plant, carry out a complete transplant or cut the stems.

    Soil

    When planting, make sure the soil is acidic. In alkaline soil, jasmine may not bloom at all.

    Excessive growth of shoots

    Loosening in the root zone is carried out at least twice a summer to improve oxygen circulation. Don't forget to remove weeds. nine0003

    Watering

    In hot weather, moisture evaporates very quickly. The plant needs at least 30 liters of water every two days.

    Shelter for the winter

    Modern varieties are frost resistant. However, if a harsh winter is expected in your area, you can build a shelter. Be sure to protect young plants from frost for the first 2-3 years.

    Trimming

    Trimming is required to maintain a decorative look. Remove faded blooms.

    Top dressing

    Liquid fertilizers are suitable for jasmine. Make an infusion of mullein or mineral complexes. At the end of flowering, they are fed with superphosphate, sealed with wood ash.

    Garter

    Mature specimens need support, especially curly ones. This will provide a neat appearance and additional support.

    Adapted jasmine varieties are hardy and hardy. However, if you want the bush to have a decorative look, take the time to care for it.

    How to transplant and prune

    To keep the jasmine shrub from wasting energy, it is necessary to prune regularly. Without such a procedure, the plant may not bloom and grow strongly - up to 10 m. The optimal bush size is 1-2.5 m in height. There are several types of pruning.

    Annual spring

    Pinch the plant in spring to stimulate flowering and form a regular crown. Not later than the end of April, light pruning is carried out. Remove snow-damaged and frostbitten areas, old branches that will not bloom profusely. They shorten strong and long shoots, spurring the growth of lateral ones. nine0003

    Annual autumn

    Weak, dry and withering shoots are cut off after flowering. All dried inflorescences are removed. Slices are treated with garden pitch.

    Rejuvenating

    Radical pruning is carried out every 3-4 years. The procedure consists in the complete removal of old shoots. A few of the strongest and healthiest trunks are shortened by ½ of the length, and the rest are cut down near the ground. Slices must be processed.

    Provide abundant watering and intensive top dressing next season. In the spring, new shoots are removed, leaving a few stumps. Jasmine resumes flowering two years after rejuvenating pruning. nine0003

    Sometimes a transplant of garden jasmine is required. It can not be carried out during the period of active flowering. Before the procedure, the soil is watered abundantly, and the shoots are shortened. After that, the bush is dug up and moved to the desired location. Please note that jasmine does not bloom in the transplant year.

    Why indoor jasmine does not bloom

    Outdoor jasmine is an undemanding plant. At home, there is no cold and sudden changes in temperature, which is only good. However, it happens that the jasmine does not bloom. Why is this happening? nine0003

    Prolonged absence of pruning

    In order for indoor jasmine to bloom regularly, it is recommended to pinch the ends of the branches. Each shoot should have no more than 8 pairs of leaves.

    Low or high temperature

    If you place the pot in a cold room or loggia where the temperature is below +16 C, the plant may lose buds or not bloom. Temperature readings above +24 C are undesirable.

    Lack of moisture

    Untimely watering in combination with high temperature or dry air adversely affects flowering. Do not forget to take settled or filtered water to moisten the soil. nine0003

    Improper seating

    The neck of the stem must not be set too deep. When planting more than 3 cm deep, the plant will not start flowers.

    Lighting

    Proper lighting is essential for bud formation. Indoor jasmine prefers diffused light. It is advisable to protect the pot from direct rays. In a dark room, the plant does not bloom.

    As with garden jasmine, pay attention to the composition of the soil. Check if the plant is attacked by pests. One or more of these factors lead to the fact that jasmine does not form flowers. Eliminate adverse factors, and the problem will go away. nine0003

    Symptoms of pests, methods of control

    Like any plant, jasmine can be attacked by diseases or parasites. To maintain the health of the flower, unfavorable sources should be eliminated.

    Whiteflies symptoms

    Whiteflies drink plant sap and leave a sugary coating. The leaves curl, and later dry up and fall off. Small white insects are visually noted.

    Solution

    For treatment, use ready-made preparations Akellik, Agravertin or Intavir, which are diluted according to the instructions (usually 1 ml per 0.5 l of water). nine0003

    Tick, symptoms

    When attacked by a red tick, the leaves also suffer. Parasites leave behind whitish grains.

    Solution

    Mites are eliminated with soapy water. If the parasites have not disappeared after the procedure, they are sprayed with a 0.15% Actellik solution 2 times a week.

    Green leaf weevil, symptoms

    Parasite larvae colonize leaves and suck cell sap. If the plant is not treated, the whole bush dries up. nine0003

    Solution

    Insecticide treatment (Actellik, Intavir).

    House aphid symptoms

    House jasmine is also affected by pests. If a cobweb has formed on the flower, then an aphid infection has occurred. Due to the disease, growth slows down, and in the future, complete drying is possible.
