Is this planter is big enough for the star Jasmine ? And what should I condition the soil with if so, when to plant etc?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
The planter that you mention does sound like it is big enough, I would advise you to give the planter a thorough clean making sure that all the old roots are removed and any possible sign of disease from the clematis.
The position sounds great, just remember to keep an eye on whether your soil is too wet or too dry, does your planter have drainage holes?
It would be absolutely fine to plant it out now, this will get it established before we have any hard frosts, although, living in central London things tend to be a lot milder than elsewhere.
Hope this helps!
