What's up everyone? Welcome back to the epic gardening podcast. Today we're talking about the

Jasmine plant. It is a source of an exotic delicious fragrance in warmer climates. I know that when I used to live downtown in my city

there was a big Jasmine plant lining one of these buildings and I would walk by

it every day and if the wind was blowing south west I would smell the Jasmine from a block away which is just an amazing way to walk and get my morning coffee.

Yeah get that Jasmine that little burst of Jasmine in the morning, really great way to wake up.

So Jasmine, when we're growing Jasmine, what do we need to take into accommodation?

So, Protection from Cold, that is one of the most important things when we are growing

Jasmine. They are a bit more care than some other vining plants, but the results are well worth the effort.

Not all Jasmine plants are fragrant, but some of the most common ones and also the most hardy ones do produce a pretty sweet

fragrance that will waft far further than most flowers would. Now common Jasmine is a vining plant. It has larger glossy green

leaves than a royal Jasmine. Both of them can survive in temperate climates if they're planted in a sheltered area.

There's also a couple different varieties that you can grow.

Arabian Jasmine would be one.

There are so many that you might as well just pick the one that is perfect for your climate,

and it would be very hard for me to go through all them on the podcast.

So first of all, how do we grow Jasmine? As I already mentioned, you're going to want to choose a warm sheltered location.

Vining varieties, personally, some of my favorites are the Vining Ones.

Obviously, those will require some kind of support structure or trellis.

They can grow up to 15 feet tall so you can wind them around a pergola or a fence or a trellis or something like that.

All of them prefer sun to light shade and then they want well-draining soil that is pretty

fertile. Doesn't have to be overly abundant with fertility, but they need some nutrition in that soil.

You'll want to pot and transplant it into the ground at the same level it was when you were growing it in a pot.
