Trachelospermum jasminoides 'Tricolour'
star jasmine
Wonderful, white-splashed, green leaves, which remain on the plant throughout the year, are accompanied by clusters of jasmine-scented, pure white, tubular flowers in mid- and late summer.
Trachelospermum jasminoides 'Tricolour' is an attractive climber for a sheltered, sunny wall but is less hardy than the plain-green form, so where winter temperatures fall below -10°C, it's best grown in a cool greenhouse or conservatory.

How to care for Trachelospermum jasminoides Tricolour:
To avoid dry conditions, and to ensure good soil contact around the rootball, we advise planting climbers at least 30cm (12in), and preferably 45-60cm (18-24in) away from the base of a wall or fence. An even larger distance should be maintained when planting climbers beside an existing tree or shrub.
Ideally suited to south-facing walls and fences in warm, sheltered gardens, the twining stems of star jasmine can be trained onto sturdy supports including wires, trellis or freestanding climbing frames.
Alternatively, consider planting into a large patio pot filled with loam-based compost, facilitating easy relocation to a sheltered spot during the cooler months. In regions that experience prolonged or severe frost, grow under the protection of a spacious, cool greenhouse or conservatory.
Requiring little maintenance, a gentle trim in February or March will help keep its size within bounds. Requiring little maintenance, a gentle trim in
