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?

Six inches in two weeks isn't fast? Hmmm.

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.

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...

Is there something you are doing wrong? Yes planting
Asiatic Jasmine. Best bet is to pull it all up before it
starts to spread.

It's not THAT bad as long as it's planted in an appropriate place. ;-)
It can be as difficult to control as, say, Kudzu.

I have the related confederate jasmine (Trachelospermum jasminoidies rather
than asiaticum) growing on my fences. It's evergreen, not as invasive as
most vines, and unlike anything else I've planted doesn't go racing to the
top of the fence leaving gaps down low.

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.

First year it sleeps. Then it creeps, then it leaps.

Confederate Jasmine may be related but it is not nearly as
invasive and it also has aromatic flowers in the spring.

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.
