Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your Jasminum mesnyi cuttings is straightforward, making it suitable for both novice and experienced gardeners. For optimal growth, plant your cuttings in a location that receives full sun to partial shade. While it can tolerate some shade, more sunlight generally leads to a more profuse bloom. Aim for at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight daily for the best results. The plant is adaptable to various soil types, but thrives in well-draining soil. Amend heavy clay soils with organic matter to improve drainage. A slightly acidic to neutral pH is preferred. Once established, this jasmine is relatively drought-tolerant, but consistent moisture during its active growing season will promote healthier growth and more flowers. Water deeply when the top inch of soil feels dry, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings to prevent root rot. Reduce watering in cooler months.

The ‘Sun Glo’ Primrose Jasmine is quite cold hardy, generally thriving in USDA Hardiness Zones 7-10. In colder zones, it can be grown as an annual or brought indoors during winter. Fertilize in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer to support its vigorous growth and flowering. Pruning should be done after flowering to maintain shape, control size, and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or damaged branches. While generally pest and disease resistant, keep an eye out for common garden pests like aphids or spider mites, treating them with insecticidal soap if necessary. Proper care ensures a lush and blooming primrose jasmine care experience.
