Hi Dultry, I have the night blooming jessamine and the day blooming vatiety( not fragrant, more of a pungent smell). Wanted to try Nycanthes arbor-tristis, but my mom was saying it causes skin irritation for her, is it hardy or do you winter protect in your area? I just recieved a few others from Logees today, african jasmine, twisted jasmine, winter jasmine (is it the same as pink jasmine?).

Do the michelia's do well in 9a?

Every year, my jasmine leaves trun brown then die. I think it's adisease of some sort, so I finished growing them. Sad

My MOO gets brown buds, this yr, a few leaves got scorched. Meyermike, does this happen in summer or winter? I would be sad without jasmines...

Every year, the leaves by summers end or before they turn a soft brown, then rot right off and the whole vine will turn black and get hard. It's so depressing, I think it;s Bertritus or it reminds me of that. maybe too much moisture outside. The same was happening with my leaves on my Garnd Duke until I took out out from my greenhouse. Like too much wet. Not sure. I wish I knew(

That sounds terrible....very depressing. I lost my first french perfume jasmine, and was heartbroken. The sambacs seemed better for me, even if they died down to roots, always came back up.

Maybe too.much water..killed dozens of gardenias that way, still keep trying! Maybe fabric pots would offer better drainage...
