Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your Grand Duke of Tuscany Jasmine is a rewarding experience, leading to abundant fragrant blooms. This plant thrives with consistent attention to its environmental needs. For sunlight, this jasmine prefers full sun to partial shade. If growing indoors, place it near a bright, south-facing window where it can receive at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight daily. Outdoors, ensure it gets plenty of morning sun and some afternoon shade in hotter climates to prevent leaf scorch. Proper light is crucial for prolific fragrant jasmine flowers.

Watering should be regular, especially during the growing season (spring and summer). The soil should be kept consistently moist but never waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering frequency in the cooler months. Well-drained soil is essential to prevent root rot. A good quality potting mix enriched with organic matter works best for potted plants. For outdoor planting, ensure the garden bed has excellent drainage. This plant thrives in USDA Hardiness Zones 8-11, preferring warm temperatures. Protect it from frost if temperatures drop below 40°F (4°C). Fertilize every 2-4 weeks during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer to encourage vigorous growth and blooming. Pruning after a flush of blooms can promote new growth and more flowers, helping you maximize your enjoyment of growing jasmine indoors.
