I'm preparing a lesson on jasmines for my Fanatic Gardeners at the LA
County Arboretum. And, although I've grown a couple of them, I find my
"hands-on" experience is very limited. So I turn to all of you. What
have you grown within the genus Jasminum? How did it perform for you?
Did you have to do a lot of pruning to keep it within bounds? Did it
always need regular watering, or did you find, as I did with Jasminum
polyanthum, that it became fairly drought tolerant after a few years?
I'm particularly interested in any comments about Angel Wing jasmine,
Jasminum laurifolium (old nitidum or magnificum).
J. leratii
J. angulare, which is supposed to be from So. Africa
But any input from any of you listening would be greatly appreciated.
Oh, and do you pronounce it Jas- meen- um, or Jas- men- um, and where
does the accent go, first of second syllable?
TIA ;-)
