Trachelospermum jasminoides [marbled long leaf]

This star jasmine with a rather dull name, brought from Japan just a few years ago, has leaves up to 4" x 1", marbled and streaked jade green, silver, and cream, blushing to a beautiful pink and maroon during the winter months. Not at all dull! It is also free flowering, especially when somewhat root bound in a container or grown in bright light,with large white flowers more sweetly scented than the...hint-of-electrical-fire fragrance of some star jasmine flowers. (You know you are a plant geek when you can walk amongst a star jasmine collection and tell them apart by their individual fragrances. We must get out more.) Full sun to full shade where it might make a beautiful contrast under darker leaved, broad-leaved evergreens. Reasonably fertile soil with regular summer water. A few nutrients never hurt. Frost hardy in upper USDA zone 7.
