My first year with Trachelospermum jasminoides, and whilst conditions haven't exactly been perfect, it's been doing ok. Recently though, especially now it is flowering, it is looking a lot 'sadder' (perhaps not an official horticultural term!). Everything seems to be drooping, almost like it is too dry but I am reluctant to water it as it has been so wet recently.
Any ideas ... or is this simply how it is supposed to look?
Is this star jasmine ok?
Re: Is this star jasmine ok?
looks ok to me .... I have several planted in a few gardens and they look the same as yours
perhaps give it a good fertilizer now as it's about to bloom (some say liquid tomato feed is good when the jasmine is about to flower)

Re: Is this star jasmine ok?
It looks ok to me too, maybe a little encouragement is needed with training the newer growth is all that's needed.
But make sure it really is receiving enough ran there, as being so close to the wall much of the rain could well miss it's roots, if that is the case, you should dig it up and move it slightly further out.
