Growing jasmine in a container

[Thighdentitycrisis]

I want to do this. Has anyone experience they can share?
is it deep rooted?
How much space will I need for maximum coverage?
tips for where to get a decent lightweight container

thanks in advance

I see many large trachelospermum for sale still in their containers and they seem happy, ask at the garden centre what they think. (preferably one that focuses on plants not coffee & bric-a-brac)

RHS has a website that could be useful to you.

I have a jasmine in a big pot - been there for years and does well 🌸

Also, I hear that some people use polystyrene drainage to keep container weight down, there was some research that found critters able to digest polystyrene if you're worried about environmental impact.

Google is your friend.

Which jasmine? The white heavily perfumed one that they sell as a houseplant? Definitely. The yellow winter flowering one? - might be difficult. Trachelospermum, despite its common name, isn’t actually a jasmine, but may still be ok in a pot

Trachelospermum Is fine in a pot, a reasonably large one. Feed it and top Dre’s with new compost and put slow release feed in the container.

jasminoides, needs to be in the ground really. It does ok in a large container for a while.

If you're thinking of stephanotis (madagascar jasmine) it needs inside conditions in the UK (not sure where you are).Google tells me thay can grow up to 20 feet but the ones I've seen have a trailing rather than a bushy habit.

Most plants in containers have restricted growth (like bonsai if jasmine can be bonsai'd?), whether they like it in the long run I couldn't tell you.
By long run I mean the 'normal' lifespan of jasmine. I have seen some 20+ year old specimens of the white winter-flowering variety (in the ground)- it's a bit rampant and needs regular maintenance, can easily fill a few metres of space.

I've been told that if you look at the size of a tree you can assume that the roots are as extensive as the canopy, some jasmines can grow to be very large shrubs and need space for roots to support that growth. (eg they won't grow as fast or as far in a pot)

I have a Jasminum Beesianum (Red Jasmine) in a pot, growing up a cane trellis on our fence. It's doing brilliantly atm. Also got one in the ground too, on another bit of fence - both seem happy, but only planted them this year year.

That red jasmine is pretty.

We have a lovely trachelospermum planted in the ground,(not a true jasmine as pp said), that is rampant, evergreen & fragrant. My childhood garden had jasmine officianalis not in a pot (beautiful summer-evening scent, deciduous & vigorous growth - a sweet hit if you suck the flowers like phlox). Imo the leaf form is prettier than trachelospermum.
You get the best scent if you can plant them in a warm spot.

As for containers...anything ceramic or wood will be heavy, metal is light but may not last well, fibreglass or plastic seem light & robust.
LIDL occasionally do large, inexpensive containers, also Wilko. They're not the most beautiful but you could customise them.

I brought three tiny pots of jasmine from Aldi and put them in a huge rectangular pot and put bamboo canes and built a structure sort of three tripods and connected all three - in 3 little months it is covered and thriving I water regularly etc but it is loving it’s pot
