I posted this in "Vines & Climbers" but thought it would be helpful to post here also. I planted several star jasmine (Trachelospermum asiaticum) plants in a planter next to my house (north side) which are doing very well. The vines have grown in to cover the area in two years, but alas, no flowers yet. They do get direct late afternoon sun and bright indirect light. We get temperatures into the twenties to upper teens so I think the plants get an adequate chilling for flowering. Although the plants are very green and healthy looking, I haven't been over fertilizing. Is there something else I should be doing to induce flowering. I see from general information on this plant that it flowers from mid-summer to fall. Maybe I just need to be patient, but I would appreciate any info regarding encouraging flowering.
