Thanks! Yeah sometimes it’s hard to distinguish varieties especially if they’re not in bloom. And to make it more challenging, they may have different common names depending on what part of the country/world you’re in! That’s why I always recommend to search plants by their botanical name. This is the best way to distinguish varieties, as there are many reputable online sources that also have photos of individual varieties. Asiatic Jasmin can sometimes get confused with Star Jasmin. It’s just a slightly smaller leaf and more prostrate. It’s honestly just a matter of learning and remembering. In the landscape architecture program, the professor taught us to draw them in our journal, which helps the brain remember subtle differences. Feel free to reach out anytime!
Great vidéo, as always! Would you recommend this for hard-to-access slopes? If so, and this may seem a silly question but, would it be better to plant it low so it grows up or high so it grows down? 🥴
Thanks for the suggestions, I am buying Confederate Jasmine from Costco and wonder how it will work with PVC fencing. Has anyone had experience with that type of fencing?
I suppose, if it was in a windy area, it could cause a little bit of a mess, but mostly they just shrivel up and fall then mulch into the soil. Generally, they are not a very messy plant. If this was my yard, I would not be too adverse to planting this fairly close to a pool. Especially since it’s an evergreen plant.
We have our right on the entry way of our two story home when friends come to visit we are always asked what's that beautiful fragrance? 😊its our jasmine vine❤
Just saw your video and im hoping you can help me. I live in south texas and have a jasmine plant that climbed into a mesquite tree but hasnt flowered since. Is this bad for my jasmine plant? TIA
Hey! Interesting… So I don’t think it would be anything specific to the mesquite tree as a species, but maybe other environmental factors that the tree could be causing. It could be causing a significant amount of shade that might keep the jasmine from blooming, although Jasmine should bloom even in a somewhat shaded condition. Mesquite trees are also known to send out some pretty intense surface roots, so this could potentially be reducing available water/nutrients to the jasmine if it’s planted in close proximity. I might recommend to do a time release Fertilizer with a higher phosphorus count. When you look on the fertilizer bags, there are three numbers in a row, which are the NPK counts. Nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Try a Fertilizer with a higher phosphorus count, and see if that helps with the blooming. I hope this helps!
Will it attract SNAKES?( particularly about jasmines) where can I get this creeper, please guide me, I am residing at south India, Andhra Pradesh, Tirupati.
It depends on the application. Generally, you can’t ‘hurt’ Star Jasmine… if it’s in a vertical/vine form, use hand clippers to cut off tendrils to either thin out, or remove large pieces of walls and trellises. If it’s a ground cover, you can use a power hedger or hand shears to trim it lower and keep it contained within a certain boundary. Either way, it will have to be regularly maintained as SJ grows vigorously.
It’s actually pretty easy! Take a woody cutting (cut right below a leaf bud) and pop it into a light soil mix. I like to use a rooting hormone powder. Try it!
Can I plant this in a large container in my balcony? My aim is to have a plant that provides privacy in my balcony. Can you provide a few suggestions if this is not a good option? TIA.
Absolutely! It does great in containers. However, you will want to make sure it’s on some kind of trellis if you want it to grow up for privacy. Podocarpus gracilior is also good in pots and grows upright and dense.
It’s not called confederate Jasmine everywhere. This is exactly why we ALWAYS use the botanical name to prevent confusion. Some plants may have several common names, which can often cause confusion when searching for info, or trying to purchase. Always refer to the genus and species name of each plant when purchasing to verify you were getting exactly what you need.
Planted one plant here in northern cal, less than 1 year ago against a redwood fence. Now it's reached top of 6 foot fence
Yeah they grow super quick!
Lots of good information, well described in a few minutes. Amazing! Thank you.
Thank you so very much for the kind and encouraging words… Thanks for watchin 😎
SUBHAN ALLAHA, beautiful plant of paradise
Informative and to the point, thanks. can you please share some insight on other jasmin breeds and how to distinguish one from another?

Awesome video very helpful
Thanks for watchin!!
Here in Malaysia where I’m from.. this plant is called windmill jasmine. Star jasmine is a different shape of flower - like a star..
Great vidéo, as always! Would you recommend this for hard-to-access slopes? If so, and this may seem a silly question but, would it be better to plant it low so it grows up or high so it grows down? 🥴
Sooo handsome ❤
Nice Sharing

It will do great
Do the flowers blow all over the ground? Trying to find something for around the pool without the mess thanks

How do you trim the top of the star jazmine so it's not too high? Mine has covered the landscape behind it.

I like the scent of its flower.how to propagate?

@@BudgetPlants thank you♥️
How do you get it to bloom like this?
These plants like fertile loamy soil, and moderate to regular water. In full sun, they should put on a good show of blooms.

Does star jasmine damage bricks and mortar? - does anyone have experience with trying to remove? Thanks
Don't plant near open doorways as they smell strong. AND if you hayfever stay away!
Mine star jasmine is struggling .
