Bad jasmine is tough and hardy
Unlike real jasmine, false jasmine or pipe is completely hardy. The ornamental shrub copes well with very low temperatures. A special wintering is only recommended for young plants.
False jasmine is a native plant
False jasmine has been grown in Central European gardens for centuries. The shrub is therefore well adapted to the local conditions and also tolerates very low temperatures without winter protection.
Only protect young plants from frost
Once a false jasmine has grown well, it is completely hardy. You should only water it occasionally if it is very dry in spring and winter.
It is different with False Jasmine, which you have planted only in the fall or propagated from cuttings themselves.
Young shrubs should protect you from frost during the first winter. The roots are then usually not so deeply penetrated into the ground, that the plant is not quite hardy.
Protect against frost and dehydration with mulch covers
To protect against frost, put a mulch cover on young shrubs in autumn. For this you can use organic materials from the garden:
A mulch cover also prevents the soil from drying out too much. Weeds can not accumulate, which makes gardening much easier. Also, the decomposing mulch material provides new nutrients.
A sensible measure is the fallen leaves of False Jasmine
just lie under the bushes. It acts like a mulch cover and thus offers good protection against very low temperatures. At the same time it fertilizes the soil.
False jasmine loses all leaves in autumn
False Jasmine is a deciduous shrub. He trains a lot of leaves in spring. In autumn, the leaves turn yellowish and fall off. This is not an indication of a disease, but a natural process in many hardy plants.
If you want to plant false jasmine as a hedge, you should be aware of that. In winter, the winter hardy shrub does not form a dense screen.
Tips
Bad jasmine used to be bred in cottage gardens, as the flowers attract bees and insects. That's why False Jasmine is popularly called Bauernjasmin.
