  Hello @rowej28046796498 and welcome to the forum 😊 
  
  Can you tell us a bit more about your Jasmine please?  I presume it’s a Star Jasmine (Trachelospermum jasminoides). 

  Whereabouts roughly are you? I presume it’s growing in the ground and not a container?
  
  

  The red colouration can be a response to various types of stress ie under or over watering, lack of nutrients etc as well as temperature, so we need to establish what’s been happening in order to help. 

  
  

  Please don’t rush out and give it a load of fertiliser until we work out what’s wrong because feeding a struggling plant can add to the stress. 

  
  

  😊

  Do you mean Star Jasmine or the ordinary one? I have both in SW France and hot weather never makes the leaves go red and drop off. That can happen to my Star Jasmine in winter cold. Then it grows again in Spring. Makes me wonder if your Jasmine is suffering from stress of some sort, not heat though. Did you water it when the weather was hot and dry?

  A photo of your plant and some more info about your location and climate etc, will also help with advice @rowej28046796498 

  It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
  
  
  
  I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

  Thank you all.
  I am in Brighton in the UK. It's a star jazmine and I did water it about twice a week in the very hot weather.
