Question: Dear Sirs, I live in Malta and bought my Star Jasmine last October. It is growing in a large pot, up a trellis, on my balcony. In the early Spring new leaves appeared and about two months ago beautiful, fragrant white flowers appeared. Now the flowers are turning brown and dying. Could you please tell me what care I know have to give to my plant?? Many thanks for your help.


Answer: this sounds like the typical growth pattern of the star jasmine. Here in Central Florida The vine blooms from early spring through to mid May. The flowers will brown drop, but the plant will continue to grow throughout the year.
