Cut the stems and areas back after the flowers drop off so they'll bloom next year.

Expert Answer

After blooming, jasmine goes into a dormant state and will usually bloom again in the spring.

Trim back the drooping branches and any vines that have overgrown the trellis to keep your jasmine small and tidy.

Yes! Jasmine grows quickly and vigorously. It will grow back in no time, though it may be 2-3 years before it flowers again.

The best time of year to prune is after the jasmine has bloomed. That means spring for winter jasmine and fall for summer jasmine. You can prune it back to 1 foot above the ground.
