Star Jasimine

I had two Star Jasmine growing here several years ago. They were full and lush, just beautiful, and they covered the fence. Then, my husband needed to replace the fence, so he just hacked off the shrubs to about three feet high (I nearly cried). One shrub died, but the other has bushed back out. It keeps sending out runners, trying to find something to climb on. This runner lacked support and kept bumping into the board that goes across the fence. This runner has actually tied itself in a knot! I thought it was kind of funny!
