variegated star jasmine

Product Image
An evergreen climber combining glossy, variegated green leaves splashed with creamy white and tinged with red in colder months, offering year-round visual interest.

Throughout mid to late summer, clusters of fragrant, star-shaped white flowers fill the air with a rich jasmine-like scent.

Trachelospermum jasminoides 'Variegatum' thrives in a sheltered, sunny spot and is ideal for trellises, pergolas, or framing doorways, where its scent and foliage can be fully appreciated. It is perfect for adding elegance and fragrance to patios, gardens, or conservatories.

How to care for Trachelospermum jasminoides Variegatum:

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.
