How should I cut jasmine ground cover?

Answer by  Flutterbye (161)

All you gotta do to trim jasmine ground cover is look for any stems that are twining upwards and prune them either by hand or you can use an electric garden trimmer. Jasmine grows very quickly so you won't hurt it if you accidentally trim it a bit short.

According to garden guides you can cut your jasmine ground cover up to every two months if it grows fast. You can use a variety of methods.

I use a weed eater to trim mine because it spreads out into the driveway also. The whacker works great since I can angle it to trim for spread as well as grooming the top of the my jasmine ground cover. I do this in late winter and in July.

Late winter is the best time to cut back Asian Jasmine that has become overgrown, shaggy or needs to be neatened up. Be sure your mower is raised to the highest setting and carefully mow over the Jasmine. For raised beds, get a pair of hedge clippers and shear the Jasmine back to approximately four to six inches.

Use a weedeater & whack away as close to the ground as you prefer. It grows back so fast, you'll hardly blink. Hand pruning is tedious & unless you have extremely good sharp grass shears, you will end up with arthritis in your hands & elbows!
