Description

Level up your garden’s color game with Juiced® Orange jessamine. You needn’t lift a finger to enjoy its clusters of tubular citrus-colored blooms all season long – just give it some sun and watch it attract hummingbirds, butterflies, pollinators, and compliments. Juiced® Orange jessamine naturally grows with a rounded habit and deep green leaves that perfectly set off the saturated color of the blooms. Jessamine is semi-evergreen, which means it keeps the leaves at the ends of the branches year round, but will typically shed its inner foliage. The warmer your climate, the more foliage it will keep. Though it is only hardy to USDA zone 7, this floriferous South American native shrub makes a fun patio plant for summer. It offers a unique, bright color and attracts butterflies and hummingbirds, so it’s just the thing for adventurous gardeners who are looking to spice up their containers and summer display.

Winterizing: No special treatment is required in warmer areas; 2-3" of mulch is recommended in cooler climates. If it dies back to the ground, do not cut back until you see signs of new growth beginning to emerge.
Maintenance & Pruning: Little to no pruning required. If you wish to prune, do so in spring. Blooms on new wood.

12 Garden Plants That Flourish In Full Sun

Finding the right plants for your garden is crucial to achieving the garden of your dreams, and when it comes to plants that love the full sun (6+ hours of sun/day), there’s a wide variety of options to choose from. Here, you’ll find our list of our favorite full-sun garden plants.

Plant spacing is based on the ultimate width of the plants. This figure is normally given as a range; for example, 3-5’. If you live in a cold climate and/or want plants to fill in more quickly, plan to space at the shorter end of the range. If you live in a warm climate, are on a limited budget, or are willing to wait longer for plants to touch, use the higher end of the range. Using the larger number is recommended when calculating distance from a building or structure. There’s really no such thing as "maximum spacing": if you don’t want your plants to touch, you can space them as far apart as you’d like. All plant spacing is calculated on center, or in other words, the centers of the plants are spaced one half of their eventual width apart:

bush distance

Unless you are planting in a straight line, as you might for hedges or edging, space your plants in a staggered or zig-zag pattern for a more interesting and naturalistic look:

So far,so good

I received these (in early May) in good condition, albeit small. I planted both in large pots to let them grow a little bit before I put them in the ground. Both are doing well; one slightly larger and blooming, but both growing well in full sun.

When is the best time to plant juiced orange jasmine and is there a bright scent of aroma?

Great Garden Plants

Juiced Orange jessamine flowers have a lovely, sweet fragrance.

Spring and fall are generally the best times to plant. The rule of thumb is to plant after the threat of frost has passed in your area in spring or at least six weeks before the first hard frost of fall in your area. You can learn more about frost dates here: https://blog.greatgardenplants.com/frost-dates-explained-gardening-for-each-zone-in-spring-fall/

What to do to encourage flowering of juiced orange jessamine.

Great Garden Plants

Hi! The best way to ensure you Juiced Orange Jessamine blooms is making sure it gets the light and water it requires. You can prune it in spring to encourage new growth and therefore more flowers and, while not necessary, you can fertilize it in early spring.

Is this toxic to cats and/or dogs?

Great Garden Plants

I haven't found any indication that this plant is toxic to animals. Keep in mind, though, that just because it isn't toxic doesn't mean pets should eat them.
