I have a night blooming jasmine bush that cannot bloom all the way.

The small tree/bush was purchased a year ago. I received it and planted it into a small planter eventually increasing it's size. By spring the scent filled the whole family room and bedrooms on that side of the house..I trimmed it in the fall. Now it's huge and packed full of blooms that will not open to release the scent. :(

    Is there anyone out there who knows what to do, or even just an educated suggested??

    Have you tried breaking up the bush a bit and replanting the snipings some where else? Giving the main bush a chance to breathe? Maybe it feels a little crowded or stunted? Try this around next Spring or maybe in the Fall.

    I was wondering if you have watering restrictions. Perhaps it is suffering from a lack of water. I have several plants that have held their buds this year but, eventually, bloom.

    That may be just what I'll do this fall Jayne Cambra. It has gotten overgrown so quickly. It can only help. I love it stricklly for it's scent. I have cut down on watering, but I'm afraid it's my lawn that has suffered. Thx Bonny McDaniel.

    Are you giving the bush a sniff at night? I had a small one and there was absolutely no scent in the daytime. at night it would knock your socks off . Your bush is a beauty!

    Yikes!!! Last night everyone of the buds opened up. The scent was so wonderful it was noticed even in the front yard. I like to think it freaked out about being cut down. Hee, hee. Anyway, thanks to all. My Night blooming jasmine is indeed blooming.

      @Olga Rivas that's wonderful! Did you do anything that caused it to finally open up, or did it just happen on its own?
