Description
The Jasminum fruticans Stellar, also known as the yellow jasmine or woody jasmine, is a Mediterranean shrub with a modest appearance but excellent robustness, ideal for landscaping a garden without watering or a slightly arid large rockery in not-too-cold climates. It will charm with its small evergreen foliage, cheerful spring flowering in small yellow stars, and willingness to grow without assistance in poor, limestone, arid soils in summer. For example, you can plant it in a garigue-type bed with cistus and lavender.
Chrysojasminum fruticans, the woody yellow jasmine, belongs to the Oleaceae family. It is one of the few native jasmine species in France. It is found in sunny places, on dry, often rocky and limestone soils. From its stump, the plant produces green, square-sectioned, brittle stems. The overall vegetation has a somewhat disorderly, bushy appearance. Eventually, the bush measures, on average, 1.50 m in height and 1 m in width, depending on the growing conditions. The foliage is generally evergreen in the Mediterranean region during winter but semi-evergreen in colder areas. It consists of tiny leaves arranged alternately on the branches. Each leaf comprises three small, oblong, shiny, bright green leaflets. The flowering period varies depending on the climate. It can start as early as the beginning of April or in May or June. It lasts about two months and is not fragrant or only slightly so. The inflorescence emerges from the axil of the leaves at the terminal part of the branches. It consists of 3 to 5 small tubular flowers opening into five rounded lobes of bright yellow colour. The plant will only produce fruits if another plant pollinates it. The fruit is a shiny, purplish-black berry measuring approximately 7 mm in diameter. The adult Jasminum fruticans stump can withstand short freezes of around -12°C/-15°C, well sheltered under mulch and in well-drained soil. When the vegetation freezes, the plant regrows from the stump in spring, but its flowering may be slightly delayed.
Naturally at home in a Mediterranean garden without watering, the yellow jasmine can be easily acclimated in many regions that are not too cold in winter. As it does not tolerate excessive humidity, it is essential to plant it in a rockery, on a slope, or in a raised bed outside its original region. Some ideas for garden pairings: creeping ceanothus that blooms blue simultaneously, a Cistus Alan Fradd with large white flowers, perennial flax, Platinum Blonde lavender... It also looks excellent with Mauritanian bindweed or Convolvulus cneorum with silver foliage.

Planting and care
It is relatively easy to cultivate in any well-drained soil, even limestone and rocky, and this yellow jasmine can withstand winter temperatures of around -12/-15°C in a sheltered position 4if the stump is well protected. More than very low-temperature peaks, it dislikes long periods (over two weeks) of negative temperatures below -10°C to -12°C. Furthermore, its hardiness is optimal in soils that do not retain water. It is a very undemanding shrub that does not require fertilisers. Once well-rooted, it withstands summer drought well, including in Mediterranean areas. Like all jasmines, it needs to be pruned from time to time, which rejuvenates the plant.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
