Care essentials
Tree Jasmine thrives in full sun to partial sun; in NE Florida, provide at least 6 hours of direct sun daily for best flowering — more shade reduces the profusion of fragrant orange-red blooms.
Water regularly during establishment; once established, Tree Jasmine has moderate drought tolerance — water less frequently in winter as the plant's growth slows and leaf/flower drop may occur with over-watering in cool weather.
Plant in fast-draining, nutrient-rich loamy or sandy soil; fertilize in spring and summer with a balanced slow-release fertilizer — avoid heavy pruning, as it reduces flowering on this ornamental tree.
