What To Do With My Leggy Chilian Jasmine?

Question

Bought a Chilian Jasmine in a 4” pot earlier this year. Planted in the ground with support. Now it’s one long, gangly vine. Should I have been pinching it back to encourage branches and fullness? Can I do this now? Is it in a dormancy now as it was growing well.

Answer 1

Yes, during the summer you can pinch back the tips to create a fuller look. In late winter or early spring, you can prune/shape the plant to encourage bushiness as well. You can cut this one back by about half before new growth in spring.
