Jasminum nudiflorum (winter jasmine)

Winter-flowering plants are quite rare but few are as hardy and versatile as winter jasmine. If winter jasmine is carefully pruned it will form a tidy shrub about four feet tall but it can be trained to climb up a wall, attaining heights of 15 to 20 feet. It's natural habit is to sprawl on the ground but in any growth form, it always provides a little excitement to to a drab winter garden. Unfortunately, winter jasmine has no scent.

This plant was introduced to the outside world in 1844 by the great botanist/explorer, Robert Fortune, just two years after the shameful Opium War forced China to open trade with the west. It's Latin species name nudiflorum means 'naked flower' because the flowers burst from bare stems before the leaves emerge. In China it is called 迎春, 'the flower that welcomes spring'.

This particular specimen is being used as ground cover to stabilize the side of a municipal drainage ditch. Typically you're advised to prune winter jasmine after it finishes flowering but this one looks like it's been recently worked over with a mowing machine. These photos were taken at the beginning of our recent cold snap and that's frost in the background.

I was rather pleased to find Winter Jasmine flowering in my garden. I bought some a few years ago and it has flowered for the first time this year.

Jasmine, this is why you’re my girl. They absolutely have food and that is the only reason to attend a party.
