About this plant
This is a characterful individual jasmine. It is deciduous, with long tapering bright green matt leaves held in pairs on slender questing stems. The flowers come in May and June and have a spicy fragrance. They are small and coloured a deep, lustrous red. They come in small rather refined clusters, the flowers having tapering tubular stems and slightly flared lips. Shiny black berries follow that remain on the plant for months, often lasting into the winter. This interesting plant can make a sturdy shrub or it can climb. It can even be allowed to trail over the ground.

Spring
Spring-Autumn · Outdoors
Water during dry periods
For plants in the ground, when there has been little or no rain for a period of 7-10 days and the soil is dry, give it a deep watering and repeat weekly until there is a downpour of rain. Check plants in pots more frequently, especially in hot weather.
Summer
Summer - early · Outdoors
Feed a general fertiliser
Where plants have moderate needs for nutrients, they can simply be given a general feed, fairly early in the growth season so that the growth has plenty of time to harden off before the cold weather.
Give plants a general boost with the application of a general purpose fertiliser which is spread around the root area of the plant, with amounts as directed on the feed label.
Planting & general
Planting
Prune after flowering
Thin out after flowering or when the plant becomes congested. Cut some stems off to the base of the plant to encourage development of new growth.
Outdoor planting · Planting
Add root growth stimulant to the planting hole
Mycorrhizal fungi helps roots establish quickly, so they absorb water and nutrients more efficiently. It comes as a powder, granule or gel. Add to the planting hole or container, and to the plant's rootball before planting in the hole. For "bareroot" plants use a gel.
