Main types with photos

Some species are most popular with gardeners and summer residents.

The Gornostaeva Mantya jasmine variety is also very popular. This plant is quite compact and its height does not exceed 100 centimeters. Inflorescences are located along the entire length of the branches. Flowering lasts about 8 weeks.

Choosing a suitable landing site

These species and varieties can be found in many garden and suburban areas. As a rule, garden jasmine is planted outdoors in spring. In order for a plant to grow and develop normally, it is necessary to know several important rules for both planting and caring for it. As a rule, the planting of various types and varieties of garden jasmine is practically no different.

The main points in choosing a suitable landing site:

1. When choosing a suitable place for a given plant on the site, be sure to take into account the fact that it can adapt to almost any weather conditions. However, if you want your plant to have a spectacular appearance and bloom very profusely, then it should be planted in a place that is protected from strong drafts. The fact is that they have an extremely negative effect on this shrub. Also, garden jasmine grows and develops best in a well-lit place with sufficient direct sunlight.
2. This shrub is recommended to be planted in close proximity to flowers that have a purple or deep blue color. For example, it will look great next to a delphinium or lavender. Jasmine also grows well next to hydrangea or spirea.
3. Experts advise planting garden jasmine in the spring. However, this procedure can be carried out in the fall.

Optimal soil selection and planting

Garden jasmine, as mentioned above, is a fairly unpretentious plant. But for its better growth, it should be more carefully attributed to the choice of soil, as well as to its direct planting.

1. In view of its unpretentiousness, such a shrub is able to take root and grow well on almost any soil. However, if possible, preference should be given to soil saturated with nutrients. It should be remembered that jasmine roots react extremely negatively to excessive humidity, so the choice should be left on a piece of land located on a not very high elevation.
2. Pour sand mixed with small stones into the hole prepared for planting. This layer will act as drainage. When planting a plant in spring, it is recommended to pour nitrophosphate in an amount of 50 grams into the hole. This will allow the plant to quickly take root in a new place.
3. When the bush is planted, the soil will need to be tamped a little. Then the jasmine must be watered.
4. In order for the plant to develop correctly, it is necessary to systematically apply fertilizers to the soil.

Feeding rules

In order for your site to be decorated with a lush jasmine bush, you not only need to take care of it regularly, but also systematically apply fertilizer to the soil. It should be remembered that the very first feeding should be carried out only 12 months after planting the plant in open ground.

Garden jasmine needs minerals. To feed the plant, it is recommended to use a nutrient solution consisting of 1 liter of water and 5 grams of superphosphate. Add another 2.5 grams of urea and potassium sulfide to the resulting solution. After that, the solution is thoroughly mixed. It is used to fertilize this shrub.

Garden jasmine also needs organic fertilizers. So, for feeding, it is recommended to use manure, as well as humus. But at the same time, it should be remembered that manure for feeding should be used only in a diluted form, otherwise the plant's root system may burn out. It is recommended to dissolve manure in water in a ratio of 1:15.

Pruning features

In order for the jasmine bush to be lush and fragrant, dressing alone is not enough, it still needs to be properly looked after.

In order for the crown to always look well-groomed and effective, regular formative pruning should be carried out. Both summer residents and gardeners have several secrets and rules regarding this procedure:

• formative pruning must be carried out in spring, when the shrub is in a vegetative state;
• the longest branches must be cut off completely, and the short ones must be shortened by ½ part;
• for more abundant flowering, rejuvenating pruning is carried out, or rather, all empty branches are removed;
• in an adult bush, the central trunk must be cut to 45-50 centimeters, while the rest are removed entirely.

Every year, it is imperative to inspect the shrub and remove damaged as well as diseased branches.

Preparation for wintering

In order for the plant not to die in the winter, it must be properly prepared for this difficult period. To do this, you should perform a few very simple manipulations:

1. It should be remembered that adult specimens are more frost-hardy than young ones. Therefore, adult plants may well not be prepared for the winter period. However, this procedure is needed by those jasmines that are still quite young.
2. When the shrub has faded, it should be wrapped in a specially designed material. You can also use regular straw for this purpose.
3. So that during the winter cold the roots of jasmine do not suffer, in the autumn time you need to dig up the soil around the trunk and do not forget to add compost to it.
4. If desired, in the spring, this shrub can be transplanted to a new place.

Transplant features

Garden jasmine is transplanted in the spring. To do this, you need to prepare the soil by digging a hole in it, which in size should correspond to the volume of the root system of the shrub. The plant is transplanted into this hole, while the rules are similar to those that apply to planting such a shrub in the spring.

Reproduction methods

It is very easy to propagate garden jasmine. So, there are several ways:

1. Seeds. Seeds are sown both in open ground and in a box at home (growing through seedlings).
2. Cuttings. Cutting cuttings is recommended in the first days of June. They are then planted either in open soil or in a greenhouse.
3. Shoots. In springtime, the shoots should be prepared by separating them from the mother plant. The choice should be stopped on the strongest shoots. After they overwinter, with the onset of the spring period, they are transplanted to a permanent place.
4. Division of the root system. This is not the most popular breeding method. The division is recommended in the autumn.

Also, be sure to remember that indoor and garden jasmine are different crops, and each of them requires special care.

We will tell you the rules for planting and caring for a chubushnik in the open field. We describe in detail when and how best to plant garden jasmine.

We consider caring for a plant in the garden: watering, feeding, pruning, flowering, preparing for winter, as well as diseases and pests.

How is it correct: mock orange or garden jasmine?

Chubushnik belongs to the Hortensia family, and jasmine belongs to the Olive family. At the same time, the shrubs are quite similar to each other, especially with a sweet and strong aroma, which is why confusion arises.

In Russia and the CIS countries, chubushnik is often called garden jasmine, but real jasmine is a thermophilic plant (subtropical zone) and freezes in harsh climates. Some of its species are successfully grown here at home or in greenhouses (Indian, sambac, etc.).

Our planting guidelines and outdoor care tips are for the chubushnik or the popular “garden jasmine”.

• These names are used in the article as synonyms, since under these names one and the same plant is hidden.

In Russian gardens, most often cultivated mock-orange (ordinary), virginal, hybrid winter-hardy varieties of Lemoine mock-orange and Vekhov Nikolai Kuzmich's selection.

Chubushnik: planting in open ground

For the excellent development and flowering of the plant, the planting site, soil and soil mixture, planting distance and depth play an important role.

This is a kind of foundation that provides comfortable conditions for growing chubushnik in the open field for the next 25-35 years.

Pick-up location

The plant is best suited to a quiet place that should be well lit, especially in the first half of the day, but light partial shade at noon is also allowed. It is best to plant chubushnik on the south, south-east and south-west side.

Garden jasmine is able to grow in the shade, but in this case the flowering will be much weaker, it will stretch out and acquire a less beautiful appearance.

Do not plant shrubs in places where rain or melt water accumulates, as well as where groundwater is closer than 150 cm from the surface of the earth.

Soil and acidity

Chubushnik loves fertile land with high air and moisture permeability. It is well suited to light and medium loamy soils rich in humus. At the same time, garden jasmine is able to grow in poor soil, but then the development and flowering of the bush will be weaker.

Heavy clayey soils are poorly suited; in this case, more powerful drainage and a lighter soil mixture are needed. On sandy loam soils, on the contrary, you can do without drainage, and it is better to replace part of the sand with garden soil.

The optimum level of soil acidity for mock-orange is pH 6.5-7.5 (close to neutral).

Soil mix

Substrate options for garden jasmine.

1. Leafy land, humus, sod (garden) land, peat in equal parts is a universal option.
2. Sod (garden) soil, humus (compost) and sand - 3: 2: 1. Well suited for clay soils and chernozem.
3. Humus, black soil - 1: 1. Preferred for sandy soils.

• It is advisable to add one glass of wood ash or two tablespoons of superphosphate to any soil substrate.

Landing distance

Large shrubs and trees - 2.5-3 m

Chubushnik hedge

Planting depth

When planting, the root collar of the seedling should be approximately at ground level. The maximum depth is 2-3 cm, otherwise there is a high risk of developing rot.

How to plant garden jasmine correctly? Instructions

1. Dig a planting hole: depth and width - 50-60 cm. At the bottom of the hole, make a 10-15 cm drainage layer of rubble, gravel or sand.
2. Sprinkle in some potting mix.Place the seedling in the center of the hole so that the base of the bush is about level with the ground.
3. Gradually fill the planting hole with soil mixture and compact it so that there are no voids.
4. Trim all shoots about 30% of their length (a couple of buds to a strong bud). Pour 10-15 liters of water into the tree trunk circle. Pour a 3-4 cm layer of peat, bark or sawdust on top to keep the root ball moist longer.

Rules and Tips

• Plant a chubushnik in cloudy weather or in the evening so that it takes root better.
• It is advisable to dig the planting hole and fill it with soil mixture 3-4 weeks before planting.
• If the seedling has damaged roots, remove them and treat the cut with charcoal powder.

When is it better to plant a mock-orange in spring or autumn?

Garden jasmine is best planted in spring (April) or autumn (September - October).

A seedling with an open root system can be planted only in the spring before the leaves bloom, otherwise it will die, and in the fall from September 10 to October 15. Seedlings in containers can be planted throughout the growing season.

These dates for planting a mock-orange are also suitable for gardeners of the Moscow region, the Leningrad region, the Urals and Siberia.

Chubushnik transplant

The garden jasmine shrub is relatively easy to transplant at any age. The optimal time for transplanting adult bushes is from late August to mid-October, but it is also possible in spring in April.

1. Water the chubushnik abundantly the day before digging so that it is easier to transfer it with a clod of earth, and it will stock up on nutrients.
2. Cut off young shoots of the current year (autumn) or last year by 30-40% (spring).
3. Carefully dig out the bush, plant it together with a lump of earth in a new place and pour 10-15 liters of water.

Chubushnik: outdoor care in spring, summer and autumn

The shrub is quite unpretentious to care for, drought-resistant and hardy to unfavorable external factors.

However, to get the maximum decorative effect, garden jasmine must be properly cared for.

Watering

Moisture is of great importance for a chubushnik. With its lack, the bush may not bloom. Water your garden jasmine regularly, especially in hot and dry weather, to prevent the leaves from drooping (loss of turgor).

The maximum demand for moisture is from April to July, when the bush is actively growing, preparing for flowering and blooming. During this time, water approximately every 7-12 days with 15-30 liters of water.

We recommend reading: «WHAT WATER IS BETTER TO WATER PLANTS?»

In the spring, before flowering, it is advisable to spray the shrub with warm and soft water. For young plants, it is useful to add growth stimulants to the water ("Zircon", "Epin Extra" and others).

After the first watering in the spring, mulch the near-stem circle with a 3-4 cm layer of peat to retain moisture in the soil.

Loosening the soil

During the spring - summer, it is necessary to loosen the ground 2-4 times by 4-6 cm in depth. Also remove weeds in a timely manner - they take away macro- and microelements from the chubushnik.

Top dressing and fertilizers

For the first two years after planting, there is no need to feed the chubushnik with mineral fertilizers. Garden jasmine needs additional nutrients for abundant and lush flowering.

1. In early April (before the leaves bloom), dissolve 15 grams of carbamide (urea), 15 grams of potassium sulfate and 30 grams of superphosphate in 10 liters of water and pour over the bush. Or water the plant with mullein infusion - 1:10.
2. After 3-4 weeks (beginning - mid-May), repeat the feeding.
3. Immediately after flowering, scatter 20-25 grams of superphosphate (1 tablespoon) and 10-15 grams of potassium sulfate per 1 m2 over the surface of the earth.

2nd option

1. Before flowering (late April - early May), scatter two tablespoons of nitrophoska and a glass of wood ash over the surface.
2. During flowering and immediately after it, pour the solution: for 10 liters of water, 20-25 grams of superphosphate (1 tbsp. Spoon) and 10-15 grams of potassium.

Tips

Instead of mineral fertilizers during and after flowering, wood ash can be used. To do this, pour a glass of ash with 10 liters of water and leave for two days, and then pour the shrub into the trunk circle.

Bloom

Garden jasmine is most attractive when fragrant flowers open up. It is for its pleasant, sweetish and powerful aroma that most flower growers love it.

The smell of chubushnik has a beneficial effect on the human psyche and raises the mood. The plant usually blooms in the 3rd year after planting.

Blossoming time of the chubushnik

The flowering period of garden jasmine depends on its type and variety. In the conditions of the Moscow region, the crown mock-orange and garden forms based on it are the first to bloom: golden (aureus), dwarf and variegated. They bloom almost immediately after common lilac (the beginning of June).

In the first two weeks of June, the small-leaved, thin-leaved mock-orange, Shrenka, blooms. In early - mid-July, odorless, grayish, broad-leaved and fluffy mock-orange begins to bloom (it blooms later than everyone else).

The duration of flowering is on average 20-25 days, in a shady place a little longer. Schrenk's mock-orange blooms the longest, and, for example, Gordon's mock-orange is able to bloom a second time in the fall.

Chubushnik "Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya"

Why is the mock-orange not blooming? What to do?

Garden jasmine may not bloom in some situations. The most common reasons: lack of light (grows in the shade), lack of moisture or nutrients (watering, feeding), unsuccessful wintering (freezing of annual shoots), excessive pruning in the spring or too deep planting.

Perhaps the mock orange does not bloom due to its age, especially if you grew it from seeds (7-8th year) or from cuttings (4-5th year).

Correct pruning of chubushnik: in spring, after flowering, in autumn

Garden jasmine needs annual pruning to form a decorative crown shape, especially vigorous species and varieties. Otherwise, it will thicken with young shoots and grow ugly.

Sanitary pruning in spring

Before the buds awaken (late March - early April), remove weak and damaged shoots growing inside the bush. If you wish, you can shorten some of the strongest branches, but proceed with caution as over-pruning can result in no flowering this year.

Sanitary pruning can be done at any time of the year. Complete formation of the crown of the bush will be performed after the mock-orange has faded.

Anti-aging pruning

About once every 2-4 years, it is necessary to rejuvenate the plant. In the early vein at the garden jasmine, cut off all shoots older than 10-12 years old at the very base of the bush ("on a stump").

Due to this pruning, the crown of the garden jasmine will rejuvenate and stimulate powerful flowering and growth. New strong shoots will bloom next summer.

"Refreshing" an old bush

A very old or neglected bush is easier to rejuvenate by cardinal pruning.

1. At the end of April, cut down all the trunks at ground level, and cut 3-4 of the healthiest ones at a height of 35-40 cm. Treat the cuts with garden pitch, and spread a 4-5 cm layer of humus around the bush and dig a little soil (6-8 cm) ...
2. Water the mock-orange regularly and abundantly in the summer. It is also advisable to feed the mullein infusion 1-2 times.
3. In the fall, new shoots from dormant buds will appear, but in the spring you will need to leave 3-4 of the strongest ones, and completely remove the rest. These most developed shoots are the basis of a young shrub.

Formative pruning of chubushnik after flowering

Formative pruning of garden jasmine is best done immediately after flowering (mid-June) so as not to disturb flowering, as it blooms on last year's shoots.

1. First, remove any faded buds. If pruning was not done in the spring or there is a need, then completely remove all weak and damaged branches.
2. Then trim the shoots of the current year to last year's growth (green section of the branch to the lignified part).
   By October, a new growth with lateral shoots will have time to appear on these branches, on which flowers will appear next spring.
   If you want to reduce the height of the bush, then cut off all or the longest shoots below the growth zone.
3. Also prune 4-5 year old shoots growing inward and bare, weakly flowering, to thin it out. And if the bush is very thick, then cut off 20-25% of the old trunks at the base.

Pruning chubushnik in autumn

You cannot prune young shoots of garden jasmine in the fall if you want it to bloom next year. In autumn, if necessary, you can carry out sanitary pruning and thinning of the bush (growing inward and weak shoots).

Preparing for the winter chubushnik

Most varieties of the plant are distinguished by good winter hardiness, especially of domestic selection. Adult chubushnik bushes do not need winter shelter, and it is advisable to mulch specimens up to 2 years old with a 4-5 cm layer of peat or pine needles.

If the tops of annual shoots freeze in an adult garden jasmine in winter, it will still bloom, and by pruning in the spring it is easy to restore the crown of the bush.

In the conditions of the Moscow region, the Leningrad region, Siberia and the Urals, it is better to plant winter-hardy varieties.

Pests and diseases

Chubushnik is rarely affected by pests or diseases, but it is important to regularly inspect the shrub for their presence.

The most common pests: weevil, mealybug, spider mite, aphid, scale insect and false scale insect... Aphids are especially common on young overgrowth leaves.

Interesting to know
