Janet,
I've bought an jasmin officinale argenteovariegatum last year and when it flowered late june/july it was lovely, but the flowering period was quite short and someone correctly or incorrectly told me with regular feeding you can keep the flowring for the rest of the summer.
Whats your view on this? is it a bit like greedy clemtais give a good bonmeal feed at start of season and then a tomato liquid feed every two weeks?
thanks 4 your help!
Matt

without flowers 
The main thing that I find difficult ids that unless it's grown over an
arch or pergola the growth is very upright and it has to be fairly
rigorously tied back or it goes berserk! The scent from officinale is
very strong though some visitors actually don't like the smell. The
stephanese and the variegated plant aren't quite so scented. |
