Yes JB the plant is as they said not a true Jasmine. It takes a break and shed leaves in the winter inside or outside. It replaces its previous summer foliage in the winter and grow new ones in the Spring and then it flowers. It grows like a clematis, or honeysuckle outside in our climate.
It kept a couple of leaves through the winter. I kept it in my powder room because it is only used if I have guest. I would take it out and put it in my bathroom through the holidays because that is the only time I really have any guest I did not want to see it looking ugly in the guest powder room. The rest of the winter I only have close friends over and do not care if they a see what looks like a dead plant in the powder room.
