Planting Instructions
Pinwheel Jasmine matures at about 6 ft. tall and has a horizontal open growth habit. The leaves are elongated and deep glossy green. For the deepest green color and gloss, locate Pinwheel Jasmine in a location that is lightly shaded in the afternoon.

Plant in spring, summer, or fall, spacing plants 2 feet apart or closer if you want a hedge line. Dig a hole only as deep as the root ball and 2 to 3 times as wide. If your soil is in very poor condition, amend the soil you've removed from the hole with a small amount of compost. Otherwise don't amend it at all.

Carefully remove the plant from the container and set it in the hole. Fill the hole half full with soil, then water it well to settle the soil and eliminate air pockets.This shrub can take full sun but seems to prefer part sun to partial shade, and will bloom on and off all year no matter what kind of light it gets. A moderate grower, it can grow to 5 feet though you can easily keep it 3 feet tall.
Plant Care Tips
