    Outstanding tricolor foliage we are always a sucker for green pink and cream, and we are not alone. An award of merit winner in the UK, this lovely vine is actually a member of the dogbane family; the fragrance of the flowers is a nearly overpowering jasmine scent. The only shortcoming for us is its hardiness, it came rated zone 7 but Punnett thinks that a bit overly optimistic and he may be right the damn thing sure looks tropical.

    The fabulous new pink growth of this show-stopping 3-6' vine/hanging basket plant turn to green spotted with cream; topped with fragrant white summer flowers; UK Award of Garden Merit. Sun-PSh/Med

    As above BUT with amazing highly colored leaves, splashed with white and green in the heat of summer however being mostly green during the rest of the year. Comes inside as an evergreen houseplant in areas where it isn't hardy. It has star-shaped, creamy-white blooms with a strong, sweet fragrance but not so many as the species. If you want dynamic color, get this. If you want lots of blooms, get the species. Overwinters inside in a COOL greenhouse or sunroom. Let dry between watering. More slow growing than the species. Great in containers.

    An excellent addition to this catalog, this plant won the Award of Garden Merit in the U.K. In addition to its lovely fragrant flowers, this vine boasts pink new growth, later turning to cream and green colors, with a light speckled variegation on the leaves. Drought tolerant and a sun lover.
