This showy, super-tough but non-aggressive (1-2'h x 2-3'w), weed-suppressing, deer-tolerant (this all sounds too good to be true!) groundcover has small foliage edged in white, pink and sage green). S-PSh/M
'Shirofu Chirimen' A very cool Japanese selection oif the Asian Star Jasmine. Don't expect this to bloom but just enjoy the superior foliage. Tiny leaves emerge tinted pink then ages to cream edged margins with sage and pink tones. Evergreen and mounding at first before becoming a small climber.
