Plant Notes:Winter Jasmine is an introduced deciduous shrub in the Olive family (Oleaceae). It is native to China, but is widely planted as an ornamental. It has been reported as an escape in Georgia, Maryland, Missouri, New Jersey, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Texas. In Alabama it has been reported as an escape in Butler County. Winter Jasmine is a deciduous shrub with arching branches that grow to 10 feet in height. The young twigs are dark green in color, becoming brown with age. The twigs are glabrous and square in cross section. Stem tips easily root when in contact with the soil. Leaves are opposite and pinnately divided into three ovate segments. Flowers are solitary, bright yellow in color, and salverform in shape with five to six wavy petals. Flowers are produced from the axils of leaves for an extended period of time from January-March. The flowers are not fragrant. The fruit is a small black berry. Winter Jasmine is a popular and easy to grow ornamental. It will thrive in most soils types and is tolerant of drought. It can be pruned to grow upright or allowed to sprawl. It makes an excellent ground cover for steep or rocky banks that are hard to mow. Several cultivars are available including ‘Aureum’ with yellow-blotched leaves; ‘Mystique’ with leaves having silver-white margins; and ‘Nanum’ a dwarf form. Plants should be pruned heavily after flowering to promote new growth. Plants are easy to root from cuttings or limbs can be rooted by bending them over to the ground and placing a brick on them.--A.
