Chrysojasminum fruticans, the wild jasmine or common yellow jasmine, is a species of flowering plant in the family Oleaceae, native to the Mediterranean region and the Middle East as far as northern Iran. A semi-evergreen shrub reaching 1.5 m (5 ft) with yellow flowers and black berries, it is available from commercial suppliers.

A note from PlantMom

Yellow jasmine is resistant to disease and is typically not prone to illnesses. Regarding care, this plant is fairly low-maintenance. When grown outdoors it needs little watering, and larger plants generally do not need pruning. Smaller plants, however, should be pruned after they have finished blooming. Yellow jasmine is suitable for anyone with outdoor space, such as a garden or deck, and does not require extensive care experience.

CARE GUIDE

How to keep Jasminum Fruticans.

Light

Yellow jasmine performs best when it receives a plentiful amount of light each day. It can tolerate somewhat reduced exposure, but that may limit its optimal growth. Its native habitat reflects this preference, consisting of areas that generally get abundant sun. Too much shade or insufficient sunlight can cause weak growth and reduced flowering.

Humidity

This plant will thrive in moderate humidity, which is probably the level in your home. However, misting it a few times a week can be very beneficial. Make sure the room has good ventilation.

Temperature

Yellow jasmine comes from habitats where temperatures generally fall between 50 and 77°F (10 and 25°C). Although it can tolerate slight temperature variations, its development is best within that range. Temperature adjustments should be considered when seasonal changes are severe.

Fertilizer

Timing is important when fertilizing Yellow jasmine. Apply fertilizer in early spring and continue monthly through early summer. Fertilizer encourages attractive blooms and supplies energy during both dormant periods and active growth.
