Since real jasmine is not hardy, it is recommended to always grow the ornamental plant in a pot or bucket. This makes it much easier to overwinter. If you can't find a suitable place in the house, you can try overwintering the jasmine in a pot outside.
How can I overwinter jasmine in a pot outside?
To overwinter jasmine in a pot outside, place it in a place close to the house, protected from the wind, place it on Styrofoam or wood, wrap the pot and plant with bubble wrap and protect the root ball with bark mulch, leaves or straw.
Winter jasmine outside in a pot
To overwinter jasmine in a pot outside, you need a corner on the terrace that is as sheltered from the wind as possible. A place directly on the wall of the house is well suited.
Place the pot on Styrofoam (€7.00 on Amazon) or wood. Wrap it with bubble wrap. The jasmine itself is also wrapped in transparent foil. Don't forget to ventilate the film on frost-free days.

Tip
Jasmine, who is cared for in the house all season, also has to move into winter quarters in the winter. The plant needs cool temperatures of around 10 degrees, otherwise it will not bloom the following year.
