Frequently asked questions
Where should you plant winter jasmine? In sun or partial shade, against a wall, a trellis or a pergola where its stems can be tied in, or at the top of a low wall to let them trail down. It grows in any well-drained soil and can also be grown in a large container on a balcony.
When should you prune winter jasmine? Right after flowering, in late winter or early spring: cut back the shoots that have flowered. The new summer growth will carry the following winter's flowers.

🌼 Bright yellow flowers from November to March • 🌿 Arching green stems • 🧱 To train or let cascade • ☀️ Sun to partial shade • ❄️ Hardy to -15 °C • 📏 H35 cm | Pot Ø9 cm
Jasminum nudiflorum, or winter jasmine, is a deciduous scrambling shrub from the olive family. From November to March, its bright yellow six-petalled flowers open on leafless green stems, while the garden is at rest. Native to China, from south-east Tibet to the centre of the country, it is one of our cold- and frost-resistant plants.
It is delivered as a 35 cm young plant, its leafy stems tied to a bamboo cane. Its flowers form on shoots grown the previous year: it flowers in the winters following planting, more and more as its stems lengthen. Its stems neither twine nor cling on their own: trained against a wall or a trellis, it reaches 3 m; left free, it forms an arching mound 1.5 to 2.5 m tall or cascades down from a low wall.
Which plant for winter flowers or to cover a wall?
Flowering, foliage and climbing habit set these outdoor plants apart. Here is how winter jasmine compares:
- Jasminum nudiflorum (this plant) — yellow flowers from November to March on bare green stems, deciduous foliage, stems to tie in, H35 cm | Pot Ø9 cm. The choice for a wall or low wall in flower in the depths of winter.
- Trachelospermum 'Star of Venice' — star jasmine: dark green evergreen foliage, fragrant white flowers from June to August. The choice for a wall that stays green all year and is fragrant in summer.
- Clematis armandii — evergreen clematis with fragrant white flowers from late February. The choice to take over from winter jasmine as winter ends.
- Lonicera henryi — evergreen honeysuckle with orange-pink flowers from May to August. The choice to cover a support in partial shade in every season.
- Hedera helix — evergreen ivy that clings to the wall on its own, in any exposure. The choice to cover a surface without training.
- Cornus alba 'Sibirica' — deciduous shrub with bright red stems from November to March. The choice to colour the winter garden with stems rather than flowers.
- Helleborus niger 'Christmas Carol' — evergreen Christmas rose with white flowers from October to March, in partial shade. The choice for flowers at the foot of a wall or in a window box in winter.
All climbers are gathered in the Climbers & ground cover collection, and shrubs among our outdoor plants.
Exposure & planting
The winter jasmine flowers in sun as well as in partial shade, whatever the aspect of the wall, and appreciates a sheltered spot. Plant it outside frosty periods, in the garden or in a container on a balcony.
- Exposure: sun to partial shade; in deep shade, flowering is less abundant.
- Soil: clay, chalk, loam or sand, acid to alkaline, as long as it is well drained.
- Support: trellis, tensioned wires, mesh or a pergola, to which the stems are tied as they grow.
- As a cascade: planted at the top of a low wall or a bank, it lets its stems trail down, and they root where they touch the soil.
- In a pot: in a large container with drainage, with a trellis or a cane; repot every three years. The key points are covered in climbing plants for balconies.
- Hardiness: down to -15 °C in the garden; in a pot, the root ball is more exposed to frost, as explained in overwintering your balcony.
Winter jasmine loses its leaves in autumn: when delivered in winter, the young plant may arrive with few leaves, while its green stems remain fully alive. Other plants by aspect are presented in which plants for my balcony.
Watering & care
Water regularly for the first two years, especially in summer, to establish the roots. Once established in the garden, it tolerates drought; in a pot, let the surface of the compost dry out between waterings, which the finger test lets you check.
- Pruning: right after flowering, in late winter or early spring, cut back the shoots that have flowered; the summer shoots will carry the following winter's flowers.
- Rejuvenation: on an overly dense plant, remove about a quarter of the oldest stems at ground level.
- Fertilizer: a little compost at the base in spring is enough.
- Mulching: at the base in the first years, to keep the soil cool in summer and protect the roots in winter.
Techniques for tying in and guiding the stems are detailed in supporting and training a climber.
Decor ideas & plant pairings
Its yellow flowers stand out against a backdrop of evergreen foliage and against a stone or brick wall.
- For a wall that stays green all year: train it next to a Hedera helix 'Goldheart', whose yellow-variegated evergreen foliage clothes the wall when the jasmine is bare.
- For a pair of winter bloomers: pair it with a Viburnum tinus standard, whose fragrant white flowers also open in winter.
- At the base, in partial shade: the Skimmia japonica Festival keeps its red and creamy white buds all winter beneath the yellow stems.
- Ideal pot: at the first repotting, the Elho Greenville Round pot in white in Ø20 or Ø30 cm, or the Capi Nature Groove taupe pot in Ø17 to Ø25 cm, will hold the young plant and its trellis.
More combinations for the cold season are presented in creating a winter window box.
Verdeia tips
- Tie the stems in a fan from planting: spread across the trellis with soft ties, they cover the whole support and the flowers are spread over its entire surface.
- Protect the young plant in its first winters: in regions with harsh winters, a thick mulch at the base and horticultural fleece over the stems during hard frosts help it establish.
- Propagate it by layering: peg a stem still attached to the plant to the ground and cover it with soil; once rooted, separate it and replant it. Other methods are described in plant propagation.

Will the plant look exactly like the photo?

What should I do when my plant arrives?
Open your package as soon as you receive it and carefully remove the plant from its packaging. Let it acclimate for 24 hours in its new environment before watering. If it has been slightly stressed during transport, it will recover its shape after one or two days in the light.
What should I do if my plant arrives damaged?
Contact us within 48 hours with a photo of the issue. Our team will assess the situation and offer you the best solution: replacement, partial refund, or recovery advice.
