Winter Jasmine

About this plant

Jasminum Nudiflorum, commonly known as Winter Jasmine, is a delightful deciduous shrub prized for its vibrant yellow flowers that burst forth on bare, arching green stems from late winter to early spring. Its unique bloom time provides much-needed color and cheer during the starker months, making it a garden standout. Unlike its fragrant cousins, Winter Jasmine offers a subtle, almost unnoticeable scent, but makes up for it with its cascades of bright blooms. Its graceful, somewhat trailing habit makes it an excellent choice for trained espaliers, cascading over retaining walls, or as an informal groundcover on slopes. This vigorous and adaptable shrub is incredibly easy to grow, tolerating a wide range of conditions once established. It's an ideal choice for adding a touch of early season beauty with minimal fuss.

Installation timing

When we're in season, outside of the winter months, our goal is to get your plants installed within about two weeks. That window gives us enough time to secure your plants from our supplier and find a spot on the schedule. Throughout the process we stay in touch through notifications and your existing client portal on the main A Cut Above website, which is separate from this landscaping plants shop.

Care & maintenance

Minimal pruning required; trim after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Can be trained on a trellis or allowed to sprawl.

Watering suggestions

Proper watering is the single most important factor in your plant's survival after installation. Newly installed plants have a limited root system and rely on you for consistent moisture while they establish.

• First 2 weeks: Water deeply every day (or every other day in cooler, wet weather), soaking the root ball and surrounding soil.
• Weeks 3–12: Water deeply 2–3 times per week, adjusting for rain, heat, and soil drainage.
• After establishment: Water deeply about once a week during the growing season, and more often in extreme heat or drought.
• How to check: Stick a finger 2–3 inches into the soil near the roots — if it's dry, it's time to water. Deep, less-frequent watering encourages strong roots; shallow daily sprinkles do not.
• Avoid: Overwatering (soggy, waterlogged soil) is just as harmful as underwatering and can drown roots.

Watering needs vary by plant, season, soil, and exposure. Because proper watering is the customer's responsibility after installation, please make sure you understand and can follow these suggestions before ordering.

Good to know: plants and trees purchased from and installed by A Cut Above include a one-year limited warranty from the date of installation. Because plant survival depends heavily on proper watering and care after installation, losses caused by improper care, neglect, animal or chemical damage, or extreme weather are not covered, and we must be given the chance to inspect a struggling plant before it's removed or replaced. Coverage is one replacement per plant. Read our warranty info.
