Asiatic Jasmine
I just planted some Asiatic Jasmine two weeks ago. It is not growing like I
expected it too. It is very slow... I would say it has only grown about 6 inches. I know this is going to sound stupid, but is there something I am doing wrong? -Bob http://www.lakenights.com/ |

Not for this plant... ;-) Needs more water probably, and try watering with liquid fertilizer. Follow the instructions on the container. Morning glory grows even faster, but it's an annual. -- Peace!

Not for this plant... ;-) That's right. I have half an acre of the stuff under heavily filtered sunlight (mostly shade really) and under live oaks. It is incredibly strong. Should probably classify it as aggressively invasive, as it'll quickly climb over just about anything. I water it once or twice during the summer, and throw some handfuls af fertilizer on it occasionally (though it really doesn't need it, and I'm probably just encouraging it unnecessarily). It's my 18-inch deep ground cover! Do consider that this is a plant that loves shade. If you have sun blazing down on it, it may not do as well. Mine tends to avoid sunlit areas. |

Mine doesn't seem to care as long as it gets enough water. ;-) And yes, it can get to be pretty invasive... -- Peace!

Asiatic Jasmine
I'll second Om's observation that it does just fine in full sun, if kept watered. I guess that's consistent with the fact that I hardly ever water mine! But it really does thrive in the shade. I used to have periwinkles over half the area, which were OK until fall, when they always declined. I put some sprigs of Asiatic Jasmine in among them, and three years later the periwinkles were gone and the jasmine had completely taken over. |
Asiatic Jasmine
First year it sleeps. Then it creeps, then it leaps.

was Asiatic Jasmine now Roundup
"BJ in Texas" wrote in message I've never had much
luck with Roundup on Asiatic Jasmine. From the Scotts Co website: "Some Roundup products are specially formulated with additional active ingredients to prevent weeds, kill tough brush, or TO PROVIDE FAST VISIBLE RESULTS." (emphasis mine.) The non-name brand formulas actually work better as they don't kill off the top of the plant before the glyphosate works its way through the plant. New "fast acting" Roundup is useless against wild currants - only the "old" formula works. |
