Night Blooming Jasmine


Question
My night blooming Jasmine is still being eaten alive every time it begins to bloom I followed the advise about caterpillars and grubs but this has not helped.  The plant only seems to be attacked when it begins to bloom.

Answer
Hi Rita, its probably night feeding catepillas or slugs (also night feeders)...try a insectecidal drench like the one Bayer puts ot for roses. this will kill them while they hide in the soil during the day. It will also kill them when they feed on the Jasmine, because its a systemic and gets into the system of the plant. Nick
