Star Jasmine Wakes-Up

(excerpt from Photo/History: Star Jasmine (Trachelospermum jasminoides)

Mar 10, 2026

I was greeted this morning & pleasantly surprised at seeing many (if not most) of the Star Jasmine branches with new green shoots. (see pic) I have not seen any shoots or  budding since last fall, even though he is an evergreen, he has been semi-dormant.

I suspect he is getting ready to bloom in the not-too-distant-future; I have seen this specimen "in bloom" once before..shortly after I potted him last spring. Despite being something of a "pedestrian" plant, in that the Star Jasmine is not exotic or particularly interesting, this plant can be a prolific bloomer. I am looking forward to seeing him in full bloom, again.
