They grow well in regular garden soil with moderate levels of soil fertility and moisture, and they need frequent pinching and shaping to control growth. Low-growing, shrubby kinds make good hedges. Jasmines bush out and should not be jammed together. Set them at least 8 feet apart in shrub borders. Containerized plants are best planted in the fall.
Common jasmine is relatively problem-free.
When trained on a trellis or wall it can grow to 15 feet tall. The slender, green stems stand out in the winter landscape. The glossy green leaves have three leaflets. Winter jasmine is a good bank cover. It spreads by rooting where the stems touch the soil.
