Blue-green leaves have silver veins and are frosted with white at the edges, creating a lovely texture for walls, containers or ground cover. Flowers are fragrant and white, but rarely appear. Plant for foliage effect.
Hardy flowering jasmine, to 10 ft or so, for trailing or climbing a wall, variegated foliage, marbled in white, green and red. Very nice. Flowers are fragrant and creamy. Full sun for best bloom but part shade is fine for foliage. Frost hardy in USDA zone 7.
