How to grow Star Jasmine (Confederate Jasmine) with a detailed description 

"Youll have a hard time killing it" you sir, underestimate my plant killing abilities 😂.

I love videos presented this way - no lengthy preamble, just a 3.38 minute stream of clear, concise, valuable guidance. Instant sub.

The smell of jasmine in the summer reminds me of home as a teenager.

Short, concise, and no boloney. Thank you.

I got a star jasmine plant in late summer, kept it inside in a pot over winter but I completely forgot to water it. I thought it was dead, but just to check I cut a bit into the stem - the thing was alive! After months of no water and little sun, it was still alive. Once I started taking care of it again it started growing like crazy. My only problem is that it drops its flowers pretty soon after they bloom - like a day or two after it unfurls it’s petals, they get brown and fall off. But I’m still super impressed at how hardy this thing is

Great video, good description. I am going to plant two. Thanks. Best part no crap music running through the commentary.

I was gifted a star jasmine and would like to put it into the ground. This video was very helpful in deciding how I want to plant it. Thanks Jim!

i planted mine near a wall and it's climbing up, very beautiful and smells heavenly!

Mine has been growing on a chain link fence at the entrance to my back yard. Planted in 1990's and still growing strong. It is a great screen from the neighbors yard, the flowers are heavenly smelling and the only thing I have ever done is amend the soil in the bed close to it and prune. There is a bird that nests underneath. I love this plant.

Everything I needed to know!! Thank you!

Here we go with our jasmine! Thanks for the "to the point " tutorial 👍

I just purchased the star jasmine vine. I just could resist it’s amazing fragrance. I’ll be planting it on the ground. Thanks so much for this video, so helpful

Planted one at the base of a 6 foot privacy fence. After 6-8 years it goes 10 feet one way and 20 feet the other way along the top of the fence. Unexpectedly, it has climbed up a Pine Tree; The vines and flowers has to go up about 30 feet at this point... It's all mostly in shade. Probably flowers a little less then the pics I see, but it looks beautiful now (April, May) in (Tampa) Florida. It makes a great backdrop behind the tropical plants in front of it.

We have quite literally tons of this plant in our yard. The 15 foot purgola out back is completely covered with it. I have to occasionally chop openings in the vine walls to enter the purgola every few seasons. It will really take over an area if not kept in check. It has a very liquidy, almost rubbery and sticky sap that flows quickly when cut. The flowers bloom from around early April through around June here in the Columbia SC area and is absolutely wonderfully fragrant. Though more than 20 feet from the porch I can still smell the flowers anywhere in the yard.. especially in the morning hours.

My favorite plant!! In Italy, we grow them everywhere!

I have a star jasmine in full sun and is growing amazingly well in the back of my property and when you reach the corner of my property you can smell this sweet jasmine, oh my so lovely!

Great video! Thank you so much - we are planning to grow 300' of star jasmine on a 6' welded wire fence in front of the farm.

Just got my first two confederate jasmines, and I can't wait to watch them grow. The video was very helpful and very encouraging. I was so happy to hear they grow so quickly. I will proably be getting more of these!!

I love this video. Very concise and informative. I bought one and wanted for it to grow beautiful. Thank you!

I got this Jasmine but I am in Boston. I plan to prune it back to make it manageable. Today is the first snow in Boston. I have it in a pot right now. When summer arrives, I will put it in a bigger pot outside on the deck. The smell is so nice.

I bought a star jasmine a little over a week ago to put in an area where we built a rope swing for our dog. I can't wait for it to grow over the supports to cover up something quite ugly to make it beautiful!

Just what I need! I just bought one of these lovely plants!

Nice to know they keep their leaves. I’m planning to grow it in a tall trellis.

unassuming, informative; a likable, believable guy!

I'm in England, but I find your shub videos the most interesting and helpful out there.

Get out of my head! I just ordered a Madison jasmine, which is the improved form…thanks so much

Great video. Just picked up a Confederate jasmine at Costco today. Came home and hopped online to learn how NOT to kill it, landed here and see that you're LOCAL? Small world! Thanks for the content. Subscribed! ♥️

Thanks for a super concise and informative video that’s not 1 hour long!

I'm in 7-8 zone...... So I hope this lives in my area. My Aunt always had me plant a Night Blooming Jasmine for her each time she moved. You could smell it literally blocks away. But I know it wont grow in my area. Liked and Subbed, thanks!

I can even smell it now!

THIS is my 3RD post here. I will be TODAY repotting my Jasmine vine aka "Confederate jasmine". I sure DO HOPE that my plans of just ":potting it up with some average potting soil", into a bigger pot, after untangling the old ROOTBALL, will be a good game plan for it. Well, really, since I have a BUNCH of soil additives that I've bought, I will be sure to add some of the stuff to the new soil in which my jasmine vine will be planted in. But, I know not to add some stuff that will change soil PH and anything like that. Since my last post, I have pruned my jasmine vine down to about 5-6 inches. I can already see a bud that has swollen up on one of the pruned back vines or branches. After I get the plant repotted, it will be much more vigorous, as it is NOW, the pot is just FULL of mostly old roots with most of the old soil having been worn away. So, although THIS plant HAS performed GREAT last year whilst being POTBOUND. NOW, I MUST repot it up. I mean, just "rip into" that old ROOTBALL. And, repot it, in a bigger pot, with more NEW potting soil. I do WISH that I COULD plant it in the ground here, BUT, when it is taken care of right, and like in MY AREA, it is kept warm enough in a greenhouse, THIS plant, ends up performing WONDERFULLY.

Nice 👍🙂 video 📸📷 about star Jasmine

Have 3 Confederate Jasmine. Love them!!!

Fantastic video. Can’t wait to plant some of these!

Just bought 3. We live in a zone 8b. Crossing my fingers it makes it.

Thank you, Jim! I have one of these waiting to be planted wnd I wasnt sure where I was going to put it, but this gave me some ideas.

I just got a star jasmine vine ~ I potted it ~ helpful video ~ thank you . Susan from Arkansas

These things were growing like crazy up the side of the house, up the carport & up an outside bathroom pipe. The landlord who put them in must of been clueless telling me it would grow like a hedge instead of a climbing vine. Iam a begginer gardener so I just went ahead and hacked away at it lol. Like I really cut them all the way down to the point of looking like baby plants. Its the start of winter here, I hope they still grow flowers in summer.

I grew up in California, in the east Bay Area. We used this as a ground cover - was very beautiful and didn’t mind our hot, dry summers.

I'm going to plant this beautiful vine by my Arch so in time it will Cover it ..Love the video ..uk

Thanks for your video about star jasmine. I 'm going to plant some in my garden in Brisbane, Australia.

Yeah, perfect video thanks 🙏 I’m looking forward to planting them.

Thank you! Hopefully I can keep mine alive. It's my favorite plant.

Great video of one of my favourite plants. I grow it against the house and the scent is amazing, especially in the late spring/early summer evenings! Looks great year round and as you say, is not fussy about being pruned to tidy up the shape.

Perfect amount of information clearly stated

Hi Jim, great video and to the point. Very informative.

Did learn something as I was actually looking to find out how to trans plant it from my front fence to what will be the new front fence (I am moving the front fence back to make a smaller area for the dogs to help control their barking when they see some one walking by). We can smell the Jasmine on the porch when it is fragrant which is close to 100 ft away. I love it and don't want to lose it but the fence has to be moved.

I just bought 2 white and 2 yellow for a bamboo archway that I built a few weeks ago. I'm going to use something to tie the jasmine to the bamboo with because they dont seem very eager to climb since they've been in the ground.

Love the smell, intoxicating.

Oh no. I just planted four of these things yesterday. When I manage to let them die like everything else, I’ll have absolutely no excuses.

You have to train it up a trellis. It's not a true climber in that sense. If you don't, it'll just grow I whatever direction it can support it's own weight. I usually have to tie mine up.

This was super useful. Thank you for the concise information!

Thank you for the advise.I got One Jasmine plant for my Balcony

Thank you for sharing that wonderful informative video it all was sounding very good and when you said deer proof I was sold

Thank you so much for the information! Great video, clear information. Also, good news for my area, I will be getting my little trees right away.

I want to buy one of these!! The smell is oh so good😍

The week long freaky freeze we had in zone 8b killed all the leaves on mine. They’re back now.

very well spoken! thanks for making the video

Great video! Very thorough.

Great video!

Great presentation.

Amazing video! Super helpful. Thank you!

very helpful advice and easy to understand. Thank you

Excellent! You know your stuff! 💖 Thank you Sir 🥂😊💞

Congratulations on 28K Subs!!!

Perfect. Concise and informative

that grows super fast!

I took a walk on the Cliff Walk in Newport, RI on Sept 3,2021 star jasmine plants were growing wild there in zone 6…

Oooops, in my last post I didn't mention that although spindly, my Jasmine vine has lottsa blooms on it, but REALLY needs repotted.

Something happened to my beautiful English Ivy after growing it for the past 30 years on my 12ft high wall! It spanned 12-16ft wide!! As of right now it’s dying a slow death! It was the focal point of my backyard, lush, dark green and beautiful! Plus it soaked up the bright light reflecting off of the wall! My heart is broken!! Now I need to quickly replace with something else and I thought of star jasmine!! I think it will be a good replacement! And the fact that you say it grows fast is important to me! I’m 65 and don’t have time to start over with the ivy! I will barely live long enough to see it fully mature like the previous ivy! My question is will it attach itself to my stuccoed wall and vine up the wall? I’m sure I have to train it first with eye hooks and maybe some fishing line!! Does that sound right! A few tips would be appreciated!! This wall gets morning sun up until early afternoon! I live in Las Vegas, Nevada!! Hope to hear back! Cory from Las Vegas

Im waiting for my 7ft Star Jasmine to arrive , im hoping it will grow on trellis ive put on thecwalls of my south facing balcony here on the UK south coast . I want a natural screen of scented foliage. I love the Jasmine perfume wafting in during summer.

Great vid 👍

I really love this plant smell really good

Thanks for all the good info! I'm wondering if I can train star jasmine to grow downward from hanging baskets. Am I crazy?

Great video. Looks like Sherman missed a plant ;)

Fantastic

Great info, nice and clear 👍.......also,you sound like Danny McBride 😀

Enjoyed the video. I want to graph my 10yr old star jasmine to start it as a privacy barrier on a chain link fence. Can you please give me tips on graphing?

Thank you for the helpful info!

Super helpful video. Thank you!

Very informative. Thank you.

Always amazing

And if you take a 6” cutting just below a leaf, dip it into rooting hormone powder, it will grow into a new plant.

HI! Love your channel as we embark on the landscaping for our new lot. We are looking at growing star jasmine in a container to grow up a lattice under 2metres to act as a screen for some ugly utilities in our backyard. We live in Sydney, Australia. What size container would be suitable to maintain happy growth at this height? Thank you!

Hi Jim thank you for the video. I from originally from North East and now living in Florida and have never considered the star Jasmine. It is quite a challenge here in Sarasota to find flowering plants that can that can tolerate the full sun. I have Hibiscus and Mandavilla which are beautiful but they are being eaten by an insect that I cant yet identify. I think it might be scale? I would love a video about difference between scale and mealy bugs and leaf miners. I have watched so many videos and read up on this but I still don't know whats eating my pretty plants Thank you for the great videos!

Hi Jim. Great video. I'm looking for a creeping vine that can handle hot summers and cold winters for an outdoor balcony. My big question in WHEN to plant. Thanks!!

Excellent video. Thanks!

Excellent tutorial thank you

Thanks Jim for amazing video. I bought star jasmine about a month ago, it was blooming heavily and had wonderful scent. I repotted it, used good compost and sprinkled with fertilizer, water it regularly. It had good sun exposure, thanks to lovely summer this year. However, shortly after reporting, flowers started wilting and eventually all have fallen, some leaves are also turning yellow. I have read different advises, seem I’m doing everything right. What could be the reason and how can I revive it? Many thanks

Mr. Jim Putnam, my husband built a very hefty trellis for me in front of the outdoor fireplace rocks. Secured with wire. That to say, it's permanent. :) I planted my Star Jasmin plants in front of it to eventually climb up it. The holes I dug looked correct at the time, but now I am worried that the plants are too far away from the trellis. The vines at the backs of the plants are reaching the trellis, but I am really not sure if the distance between the main woody stalk of the plants and the trellis itself is too much. I am wondering if I should dig them up and re- position them a tad further back while they are still very recently planted. Currently the center stalks of the two plants are about 5.5 or 6 inches from the trellis. Do you think I should move them back a bit so that the main woody stalk of the plant is closer to the trellis? In this video yours look to be pretty much right at the trellis. Thank you for your advice if you see my post. :)

My summer scent

Thank you Very helpful

i keep my Jasmine in a pot outdoors. The aroma i beautiful!! I love it. Then the white flowers feel off. Not that much sun anymore. So i pulled it off dug a new hole for the pot and planeted it where it will get much more sunchine. Will the flowers come back?

Is it possible to uproot star jasmine (or propagate it easily) from one property to another? I'd love to move my deceased mother's jasmine to my house.

Exellent video

I am living in zone 7, how to protract this plant in the winter, thank you.

i bought a star/confederate jasmine several years ago - it completely died back over the winter so I bought another one in the spring...well the first one came back and now I have two but neither one blooms. I am in Fayetteville nc and they get ~6 hrs of sun a day. do you have any suggestions?

I liked it but would like to have seen you plant it and show what to do with ling stems.

I am growing in container so I can bring it in!

I have a Jasmine vine that is growing large on a trellis...it keeps growing and I would like to know what I can get to keep it spreading on a trellis-like structure.....It is already over 6 feet tall and no where to go...nothing to attach to. Also...is there a way to cut some vines and put them in water or soil to create new vines... Thank you.... If you need a picture of what it looks like now I can send... Thanks again.....
