      You are doing nothing wrong ,it looks perfectly healthy to me ,it’s just put all of it’s energy into flowering this winter.
      I suspect it will shoot up next year.

            Not long then, they do take a while to settle in and are slow growing , you will need to add some trellis and train it through as it doesn't self twine..... From April onwards give it a whole watering can to it self and add some tomato fertiliser food every week .... .... and they flower through the winter so yours is doing what it should do

                I don't feed anything like that or any shrub, only plants in pots.

                I only mentioned due to where it is planted next to a fence and the soil looks rather impoverished.

                  I would be happy with that feed ... so not your fence ? you can buy metal trellis that you can stick in the ground and not touch the fence lots of fancy stuff about so you could make a feature .... winter jasmine branches are not heavy like climbing roses etc as you can train in the main branches then once happy let the other stems cascade down and they are more than happy to just stay at 6ft 2 meters.
