Winter jasmine, Jasminum nudiflorum, is a deciduous shrub that produces golden-yellow blooms during winter months when much else in the yard is dormant. When the weather is cold and frosty, spotting these star-like flowers in the corner of your plot will surely bring a smile.

Caring for these shrubs is relatively straightforward, but many people ask when and how to fertilize winter jasmine to maximize flowering. Feeding at the wrong time can damage your plant, and knowing when and when not to fertilize is crucial to plant success.
