Hello everyone:

Last year I planted two star jasmine plants in two large containers on my verandah. I was told by the nursery to get them to grow fuller I will need to prune or cut them back in the spring. The problem is I have no idea how much to cut. I don't want to cut too much.

Hi Nancy. I pruned or cut back my knock out roses about 2/3 down. Now, three weeks later they are full of leaves and looking bushy and beautiful. Maybe try just a corner of the jasmine plant. I think the time to prune is now. Good luck!
