Since a lot of you are experiencing winter now, you might be missing the splash of color that flowers add. Winter jasmine are flowering vines that can fill the void in late winter or early spring. Their one-inch diameter yellow blooms appear before the leaves emerge. Winter jasmine can be gown in planting zones 6-10. When unsupported, they reach four feet in height and about seven feet in width. This makes them perfect for wooden arbors. Winter jasmine can also be used as ground cover. It works really well for landscaping slopes. Be sure to prune your winter jasmine in late spring after they have bloomed.
I'll have to check this out. I generally have good luck with the jasmine family. Was not aware of winter jasmine. Thanks
ReplyDeleteHope you are able to find it!
DeleteWe've gotten starts of those before but none of them lived.
ReplyDeleteI feel so bad for you. It seems that every plant you have, dies. I hope that changes someday!
DeleteHi Sherry,
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea in regards to winter jasmine. If only I could incorporate that into my apartment. I miss having a garden.
Cheers,
Gary :)
You had such a nice yard in your old house. I'm sure you miss it. Hopefully you have some space for potted plants. You can do some nice things with those.
DeleteI know nothing about plants, but it would be nice to have some plant life around my house. Everything really died this winter!
ReplyDeleteMaybe in the spring you can plant some new plants.
DeleteHi Sherry - we have winter jasmine out already and it has been for a while .. things were bursting in December ... now a cold snap is here - we'll see what nature does. Love the winter colours that appear as each species gives us its bounty .. cheers Hilary
