Growing Red Jasmine

Prefers a sheltered sunny site, ideally where the delicious sweetly perfumed flowers can be enjoyed. It can survive quite long dry spells and needs well-drained soil so will do well planted against a wall. In a small garden, it's best to plant it in a large pot that will keep the growth within bounds. It associates well with climbing roses, clematis and honeysuckle.
