When we are captivated by the dreariness of winter, winter jasmine showers us with its bright yellow flowers and cheers us up. It not only looks stunning on its own, but also in combination with other plants.
Which plants can winter jasmine be combined with?
Winter jasmine can be combined excellently with other winter bloomers such as witch hazel, forsythia, winter viburnum, skimmia, as well as early bloomers such as snowdrops, crocuses and winter aconites. Pay attention to color harmony or contrasts as well as the same location requirements.
What factors should you consider when combining winter jasmine?
For a combination that refreshes the heart and caresses the soul, consider the following factors:
- Flower color: yellow
- Flowering time: December to March
- Location requirements: sunny to partially shaded, well-drained soil
- Growth height: up to 300 cm
When combining, pay attention to the yellow flower color. Choose companion plants with similar colors or intentionally create spectacular contrasts with red or purple, for example.
The flowering period of winter jasmine is still important. Combinations with other winter bloomers look wonderful.
Last but not least, it is important to consider the location requirements and the growth height of the winter jasmine. The chosen planting partners should agree with this.
Combine winter jasmine in the bed or in the bucket
Whether in the bed or in the pot - winter jasmine enriches its surroundings thanks to its winter-defying flower flowers. Due to its height, it should be placed in the background in beds so that in summer it does not obscure other neighbors, who then come to life visually. Other winter-flowering trees go well with it. In addition, it looks fantastic when planted with early bloomers around its root area. Feel free to play with the colors - it's hard to overdo it in nature in winter.
The best companion plants for winter jasmine include:
- Magic Haze
- Forsythia
- Winter snowball
- Skimmie
- Early bloomers such as snowdrops, crocuses and winter aconites
- Star Magnolia
Combine winter jasmine with winter viburnum
The winter viburnum goes into bloom around the same time as the winter jasmine. Since it has pink to pink-white flowers, it forms a decorative contrast to the yellow of winter jasmine. Place the two sun friends, which reach a similar height, next to each other and enjoy their play of colors.
Combine winter jasmine with crocuses
Crocuses go perfectly with winter jasmine. They present themselves towards the end of their heyday and provide wonderful accents. Use the crocuses to underplant winter jasmine. They tolerate light shading and do not compete with winter jasmine due to their flat-seated tuber.
Combine winter jasmine with skimmie
The skimmie's coral red berries are highly decorative all winter long. In addition, its dark green foliage creates a beautiful contrast. This plant goes perfectly with winter jasmine. Standing next to each other, you get wonderful splashes of color in the gray season.
Combine winter jasmine as a bouquet in the vase
You can cut individual branches of winter jasmine to decorate a vase. To do this, cut the branches shortly before the flowers open. The branches of other trees that present their flowers in winter or early spring, as well as false berries and fir greens, go well with this. How about, for example, an arrangement of winter jasmine, forsythia and pussy willow?
- Fir green
- Mockberries
- Forsythia
- Kitten Willow
