Winter jasmine plants are deciduous perennials. They are considered vines and belong to the olive family. Unlike most jasmines£¬ this type is not fragrant£¬ but£¬ perhaps as a tradeoff£¬ the plant’s stems stay green in winter. Winter jasmine plants are moderate growers£¬ native to China£¬ and grown in USDA plant hardiness zones 6-10. Winter jasmine plants reach 4 feet in height with a width of 7 feet when unsupported. Supported£¬ they can reach 15 feet in height. Its plentiful yellow blooms are about 1-inch wide. Blooming time is in late winter. The flowers appear prior to the leaves£¬ which are quite tiny. This moderate-growing gem should be planted in the spring. While usually pest and disease-free£¬ winter jasmine occasionally suffers from mealybugs and aphids. A good insecticidal soap should do the trick.
