Foliage color: Ornamental foliageTrachelospermum jasminoides 'Variegatum' (Variegated Star Jasmine) is an ornamental cultivar distinguished by its colorful evergreen foliage. The glossy green leaves are irregularly margined and blotched with creamy white, creating considerable variation from leaf to leaf. New growth may be flushed with pink, while cooler weather can bring reddish or bronze tones to the foliage. The fragrant white flowers provide an attractive contrast against the variegated leaves.
'Variegatum' is generally less vigorous and more compact than the typical green form, making it especially attractive where a lighter, more decorative foliage effect is desired. The cultivar has received the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
