I planted a Jasminium Officinale 3 years ago on an east facing wall. It has loads of foliage but NO FLOWERS! What am I doing wrong? What can I do to encourage it to flower?
Mine is in a big pot, it didn't flower the first two years. This year it has flowered well, I did what I tend to do with flowering plants/ shrubs in pots such as clematis..Some slow release fertiliser in early spring & a few liquid feeds with tomato food during the flowering season to promote flower growth.
I don't feed it with a liquid general purpose plant food. Works for me, but I'm sure other posters will have more detailed info'.
I'm sure you're right about the sun...I was testing you ( me back peddling) and you passed. My answer never even mentioned location, didn't give it a thought, think I'm just obsessed with giving plants tomato food. When do you prune yours? Mine only had a little trim in Spring.
I do not know but if you find the answer let me know ,I have two I planted recently and no flowers ,My neighbours which comes through the fence flowers and my winter jasmine is just showing its yellow flowers.It may need time to establish or cutting back or not toomuch feed.
