Jasmine is a genus of shrubs and vines that contains around 200 species native to warm regions. Jasmines are cultivated for their fragrant flowers. When growing jasmine, choose a warm, sheltered location with sun to light shade and well-draining soil. Support is needed for vining varieties. Jasmine reproduces through stem layering by bending a branch into the soil. Common types of jasmine include poet's jasmine, Spanish jasmine, and winter jasmine, which can be grown as vines or shrubs.

2.  Jasmine is a genus of shrubs
and vines in the olive family. It
contains around 200 species
native to tropical and warm
temperate regions of Eurasia,
Africa, and Oceania. Jasmines
are widely cultivated for the
characteristic fragrance of their
flowers. The scientific name of
jasmine is Jasminum.

3.  First is to choose a warm,
sheltered location when
growing jasmine. The vining
varieties require a support
structure as some can get 15
feet (4.5 m.) tall. Next is all
jasmine plants prefer sun to
light shade sites with well-
draining and moderately
fertile soil. Lastly install the
plant in the ground at the
same level it was growing in
the nursery pot. Most jasmine
plants are grafted onto the
common jasmine rootstock
because of their superior
hardiness.

4.  Jasmine will grow well
in full sun to partial
shaded areas. Summer-
flowering jasmine does
better in a sunny spot,
while other varieties,
such as winter jasmine,
like a more shaded
area. Soils that jasmine
thrive in- Jasmine
needs well-drained but
moist, moderately
fertile sandy loamy soil.

5.  Jasmine reproduce by
stem layering. It is the
method of vegetative
reproduction used in
jasmine plants. New
plant is propagated by
bending the lowest
branch of the plant into
the ground and covering
it with soil in such a way
that the tip of the branch
would be exposed to the
sunlight.

6.  Dig a planting hole
and add well-rotted
manure or compost
to the bottom. On
heavy soils, add grit
to aid drainage.
Provide support
using an angled
cane, which should
be pointing in the
direction of wires or
a trellis for later
growth.

7.  Common jasmine- sometimes called poet's jasmine,
is one of the most fragrant types of jasmine. The
intensely fragrant flowers bloom throughout the
summer and into the fall. Showy jasmine- seems
misnamed because the little 1-inch flowers that
bloom in spring aren't very showy at all. Spanish
Jasmine- also known as royal jasmine, has fragrant
white flowers that are about 1 1/2 inches (4 cm.)
apart. The most common types of jasmine are vines,
but there are some varieties that you can grow as
shrubs or ground covers. Arabian jasmine- is an
evergreen shrub with intensely fragrant flowers.
Italian jasmine- can be grown as a vine or a shrub.
When not attached to a trellis, it forms a dense,
mounded shape as much as 10 feet wide. Winter
Jasmine- is a shrub that grows 4 feet wide and 7
feet tall. The yellow flowers on this deciduous shrub
aren’t fragrant, but it has the advantage of
blooming in late winter. Primrose jasmine- is
seldom grown in the United States. This shrub
produces yellow flowers that are larger than most
varieties—as much as 2 inches in diameter. Asian
Star jasmine- is usually grown as a tough ground
cover. It has small, pale-yellow flowers and large,
dense leaves.
