Variegated pink-cream evergreen leaves, highly scented white starry flowers in spring and summer. Grow as a twining low ground cover, or as a climber up a trellis. Can be clipped to an effective tight low hedge. Always a favourite with our customers for its versatility and year round colour.

 

 

Showy variegated foliage almost upstages the heavenly scented flowers of this striking cultivar of Confederate jasmine (which comes from eastern Asia, not the southern United States). Relatively bushy and slow-growing, 'Tricolor' sports glossy oval leaves which emerge pink and mature to green mottled with white. To top it off, they change to a pretty bronze-red in winter. Throughout the growing season it bears many star-shaped, creamy white flowers that have a strong, sweet fragrance, which compel one to linger nearby. More sparsely borne than on most other forms of Confederate jasmine, the blooms have five slightly spiraling lobes. Reddish bean-like fruits follow the flowers. Severed leaves and stems emit a thick milky sap.

Star jasmine prefers full to partial sun and organic-rich soil with average drainage. It is easy to train on a trellis but also super for hanging baskets or for pinching and sculpting as topiary. In northern climates Tricolor star jasmine can be grown in containers and overwintered in a cool greenhouse.
