ASIAN JASMINE<br />

Trachelospermum Asiaticum<br />

Asiatic Minima Dwarf Jasmine<br />

is a true ground cover that<br />

forms a thick mat and is<br />

more drought and shade tolerant<br />

than most turf grasses. It can<br />

be used as a turf substitute that<br />

does not need to mowed and<br />

will stay green in the winter—just<br />

don’t expect it to withstand a lot<br />

of foot traffic.<br />

Some experts recommend<br />

mowing a jasmine bed in the late<br />

winter as the new growth period<br />

begins. The benefit is a more<br />

uniform height to the planting<br />

and lower susceptibility to<br />

disease due to better air movement<br />

within the canopy. Set your<br />

mower to the highest setting; the<br />

foliage will be mostly removed<br />

but will quickly be replaced by<br />

new growth within a few weeks.<br />

Weeds don’t usually pose a problem<br />

in a mature planting due to its<br />

dense growth, but if weed control is<br />

needed, the use of Roundup® mixed<br />

to 1oz./gal is highly effective with no<br />

adverse reactions to the Jasmine. Do<br />

not treat until after the spring growing<br />

phase.<br />

“The man who can keep a secret may be wise,<br />

but he is not half as wise as the man with no<br />

secrets to keep.”<br />
