Q: I have had a Carolina jessamine for four years. It has never bloomed. It appears healthy.
A: I think you’re pruning in winter and removing flower buds. Jessamine is a rambunctious grower so cutting it in fall/winter is tempting.
But that removes the buds that will open in March….leading to no flowers.
