Jasminum nudiflorum - Height 15-35cm - Climber - 2lt

Jasminium nudiflorum, often referred to as winter jasmine, is a deciduous shrub known for its bright yellow flowers that bloom in the late winter to early spring, a time when few other plants are in flower. Originating from China, this jasmine species has become popular in gardens worldwide due to its vibrant winter display.

Unlike many other jasmine species, the winter jasmine is not fragrant. Its slender, arching, green stems often give the appearance of being evergreen, but they shed their simple, trifoliate, dark green leaves during the colder months. When left unpruned, the plant can sprawl, making it an excellent choice for ground cover or for cascading down walls and banks. It is especially effective for erosion control on slopes.

Winter jasmine is highly adaptable. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-draining soil, although it can tolerate a variety of soil conditions. This hardy shrub can withstand cold temperatures and is often one of the first plants to bloom after the winter chill, heralding the impending arrival of spring.

Regular pruning can keep the plant compact and promote more prolific flowering. Its resilience, paired with its striking winter display, makes Jasminium nudiflorum a cherished plant for gardens desiring year-round interest.
