Jasmine in containers

[Thighdentitycrisis]

Any advice on how much space it needs , is it possible?

my living room (1st floor) has a long balcony just like the picture. It would be lovely to has some fragrance coming in the windows

I have one in a container which I think is 29liters - it seems pretty happy (it is maybe 4 feet tall now and quite bushy).

Interesting - today I rescued a jasmine & a honeysuckle from the reduced bit in B&M & hoping to do both in containers but grow them up the fence (no soil underneath as its patio). We have both jasmines & honeysuckles planted into the garden already & are doing very well, but not tried either in a container before.

I have had Devon Cream in a container with an obelisk for 3 years. I think it needs potting on after it has flowered this time but has done well (apart from a late frost this year).

My jasmine in the ground isn't doing much, is it a slow grower ?

I have one in the ground and it’s fairly slow growing

@kitkatkat yours looks good ! I want it to grow about 15 feet max but would train it horizontally

Star Jasmine may be a better bet for the balcony, the more familiar one can be quite unwieldy to keep under control. Its evergreen, red leaves in Autumn and stunningly fragrant.

Mine are very slow growing

I wanted to do this but the garden centre assistant told me the container would be too small.

Good to know, thought I was doing something wrong.

I'm interested in doing this. I have one in the ground which I love,but I want it nearer the back door. How big a container r do people think would be suitable? I was looking for a longtom, but couldn't find one

have you pruned this at all or do you just leave it? I've had one in a container for 4 years and it's not doing well.

I’ve never pruned mine. I did start feeding it weekly (ish - when I remember) this summer which cheered it up a bit. Container is about 40cm diameter, 40cm high.

thank you kitkatkat

Someone's welcome to correct me but I always prune Jasmine, the ordinary kind. I cut back the long leaders so that the shortened stem then sprouts flowering side shoots for next year. Otherwise it's just tendrils and greenery.

I would choose star jasmine.Tracelospermum Jasminoides . It's evergreen and the leaves go red in Autumn/ Winter . Long flowering period too plus you'll keep the leaves year round . Plant one plant in as big a pot as you can fit . Use John Innes number 3 compost and feed weekly with liquid seaweed from April to October. It's much easier and more attractive than regular jasmine .

thanks for the pruning info
