How to Care for the Plant

Water
Summer Sunset Asiatic Jasmine is exceptionally easy to grow. It tolerates many soil types, including clay, but prefers and will spread faster in a moist but well-drained, loamy soil. It will tolerate temporary flooding but does not like constantly soggy or wet soil. Jasmine plants like water. The soil should always be slightly moist, but not soggy.
Pruning
Prune in spring, immediately after flowering. Flowers are produced on the previous year's growth. Pruning after flowering gives the new growth time to mature and flower next season.
Fertilizer
A 7-9-5 fertilizer works well for jasmine plants. It is 7 percent nitrogen, which ensures lush, healthy, green leaves, 9 percent phosphorus for abundant, large flowers and 5 percent potassium for strong roots and improved resistance to diseases, insects and drought.
