Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Jasminum officinale, the summer jasmine, has delicate compound leaves that add an attractive texture to the garden and fragrant, white, tubular and flaring flowers from pink buds in summer. 'Aureovariegatum' has the added bonus of variably variegated foliage with shades of creamy white and creamy yellow. This is a good climber for a wall or pergola in a protected location and for containers. Combine with other vines such as clematis and honeysuckle.

Vigorous, twining, variegated poet's jasmine with green, gold-splashed foliage on vines that quickly reach 14 ft tall on a trellis or winding through tall shrubs or trees, adding bright color and, in summer, the exquisitely sweet aroma of the abundant white flowers. Deciduous, the new leaves emerging with hints of orange. Blooms on new growth so trimming is best done in the fall. Full sun to part shade with at least occasional summer water. Frost hardy to 5F, mid USDA zone 7.
