star jasmine
Not actually jasmine, trachelospermum jasminoides. We have some growing from cuttings. It's about 3 years in and still only a couple of 3' spindly stems. It was very rampant before we cut the plant down when the neighbour did their extension so hopefully it'll get going again soon.
Actual jasmine is maybe a bit more vigorous?

Jasmine or star jasmine? Maybe I got a bad batch, but mine took forever to get going (well 4yrs) and only the two in very sunny spots. The other two are still basically nonexistent
The established one I was gifted has been good from the off.
Almost 6rs on the front, East facing, is doing the best. But flower production is absolutely pitiful.
As I said could have been the plant as well as stuff like soil type, feed, etc.
Either way, I stand by my point of getting a one from a decent place.
