Trachelospermum asiaticum 'Variegatum': Variegated Asiatic Jasmine – White-Edged Leaves for Shade

Trachelospermum asiaticum 'Variegatum' – Variegated Asiatic Jasmine

Trachelospermum asiaticum 'Variegatum' (also 'Variegata') is a popular cultivar of Asiatic Jasmine with attractively variegated foliage. The small, glossy, oval leaves are edged in creamy white, creating a bright, luminous effect in shade. It forms a dense, low, woody mat that suppresses weeds. It rarely flowers in cultivation. It is more cold-hardy than Confederate Jasmine.

'Variegatum' thrives in partial to full shade and well-drained soil. It spreads moderately by rooting stems. Use it as a ground cover under trees, on shady slopes, or as a "spiller" in shade containers. The variegation provides year-round light in dark areas. A reliable, attractive evergreen ground cover for the shade garden.
