Winter Jasmine doesn’t die back in winter in the UK. Winter Jasmine is a hardy plant that flowers in the winter months when little else is in bloom, so it does a great job of cheering up a winter garden.
The best time to prune Winter Jasmine is right after it has finished flowering, in early spring.
Winter Jasmine benefits from pruning to keep it healthy and flowering each year. Prune to give shape to the plant, remove dead, diseased or damaged stems and it will thank you for it by flowering the following year. Start by pruning back old stems because they won’t flower again and if needed, thin out the plant to encourage new shoots and allow air to circulate the plant.

Winter Jasmine flowers as expected from the name. From the middle of winter through to late winter/early spring, bright yellow flowers will bloom along the long stems and will really stand out since little else will be flowering. Winter Jasmine can be grown as a stand alone plant, as a trained climber or even into a hedge.
The interesting thing about Winter Jasmine is that it is deciduous, so it does lose its leaves in winter – which ultimately allows the yellow flowers to be seen more. Leaves will regrow in spring, covering the plant all the way through to autumn.Â

Knowing when to plant winter Jasmine will help you to ensure your plant’s longevity. Planting in autumn and early spring is ideal for potted plants, although if the weather is mild they can be planted at any time of year as long as the ground is not waterlogged or frozen. Bare root plants should be planted between October and March. Whenever planting winter Jasmine, make sure the soil is well drained and in full sun or partial shade.

Knowing how to prune Jasminum Nudiflorum is essential to looking after your plant‘s overall health and to keep it flowering year after year. Bright yellow flowers will bloom in winter, and pruning should take place straight after flowering, which will be late winter or early spring, depending on the weather. Pruning at this time means you won’t damage new buds later in the year. Remove dead, diseased and damaged stems with some clean, sharp secateurs, cutting back to the ground and removing older stems to allow better air circulation and give it an overall tidy. It’s important to remember that the flower buds will form on the previous year’s growth, so be careful not to prune too much and remove the following year’s flowers.
Jasminum Nudiflorum is not an evergreen, but it does hold on to some of the foliage during the winter months, so it isn’t always bare stems, especially if the winter is mild. So, while the majority of leaves will fall, they soon flower in winter before the leaves regrow and cover the stems through to the following winter.
Jasminum Nudiflorum is a hardy plant and rarely has any problems, but some shelter is helpful, and as the stems are long, support is useful as well. In areas of particularly cold winter, it is better to plant by a wall, fence or shed where there will be some protection from winds and frost.
Adding support is useful, especially if growing vertically. Jasminum Nudiflorum isn’t classed as a climber, more like a semi-climber, as it can be trained and supported to keep the long stems tidy and growing upwards where you want them to. Using a trellis or wire across a fence, which the stems can be gently tied to, will give plenty of support. This will also help with access to easy pruning and the overall health of the plant.
When Jasminum Nudiflorum has established well, it can be quite tolerant of dryer conditions, but in the first two years and in long, dry conditions, it will need thorough watering. Mulching will help retain moisture and suppress competing weeds.

Jasminum nudiflorum AGM (Winter Jasmine)
The eye-catching golden falls of Winter jasmine probably need little introduction. However, if you’re new to gardening or a seasoned gardener who has forgotten its considerable charms, here’s a timely reminder. Known as the flower that welcomes spring in its native China, Winter jasmine’s arching naked green stems are smothered in daffodil-yellow starry flowers from November to March at a time when little else is in flower. It creates a waterfall of dazzling yellow brilliance on bitter winter days clothed in small pointed green leaves that appear after the flowers. Smaller spaces can grow this winter treasure as a climber against walls and fences or use it to camouflage ugly outbuildings or unsightly railings. It has a relaxed meandering habit and soon provides dense cover so it creates informal flowering hedging.
