All this plant requires to thrive is a spot that gets heaps of sunlight and is watered regularly, so a south-facing wall is its best friend.

According to it's also a "great choice" for attracting pollinators, since "bees and butterflies love the star-shaped blooms."

With very little maintenance, you can have thriving jasmine in no time, but it's known for being a self-clinging plant.

suggests you may need to "tie in young shoots to trellis" or establish another form of support.

It explains: "For best results grow this evergreen jasmine in well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade, with protection from cold, drying winds.

Provide some support to plants to encourage them to grow in the desired direction."

When it comes to watering, you should aim to maintain moisture, but note that jasmine plants are sensitive to dry soil while also hating soggy soils, so finding that balance is important.

Real Simple advises that you allow the top half-inch of soil to "dry between waterings" and slowly reduce water during the colder months.

Growing Jasmine Indoors

If you're looking to grow your Jasmine inside your home to reap the benefits of its eye-catching flowers and fragrance, there are several types that will do so, from common jasmine to Arabian jasmine and pink jasmine.

Real Simple suggests: "Jasmine thrives indoors when it has access to bright, indirect sunlight, routine watering, and cooler temperatures."

When it comes to light, they explain: "Jasmine needs six or more hours of strong light per day to thrive indoors."

Since jasmine plants are known for growing rapidly and getting a little bit out of control, it's recommended that they are pruned to control their size.

For best results, you should prune plants back immediately after flowering and, in doing so, remove up to one-third of the plant.
