After the bloom fades is the time when you fertilize jasmine [Jasminum spp]. For example, some jasmine does what's called 'bloom on old wood'. That means that it flowers before the new growth in spring. It tends to be called 'spring blooming' jasmine. In this case, fertilize and prune after the bloom fades.Other jasmine does what's called 'bloom on new wood'. That means that it flowers once new growth begins in the spring. This tends to be called 'summer blooming' jasmine. Once again, fertilize and prune after the bloom fades.
Queen of the Night is a flower that blooms only once in a year, that too for a night; the bloom dies very next morning.
