Trachelospermum jasminoides variegatum (Variegated Star Jasmine)
Trachelospermum jasminoides Variegatum is a striking evergreen climber featuring glossy green leaves edged with creamy-white margins. In summer, it produces clusters of sweetly scented, star-shaped white flowers contrasting beautifully against the variegated foliage. This variety is perfect for brightening fences, walls, or trellises and works well in containers. Hardy and easy-care, it thrives in full sun or partial shade, making it a standout feature in NZ gardens year-round.
Jasminum mesnyi (Primrose Jasmine)
Jasminum mesnyi, commonly known as Primrose Jasmine or Japanese Jasmine, is a scrambling shrub with amazing flowers and fragrance. It features dark green leaves held somewhat densely on sprawling stems. The foliage is adorned with sweetly fragrant, yellow flowers in late winter and spring. It typically grows to 70 cm tall and 3 m wide, but it can be trained along a fence or trellis if desired. Jasminum mesnyi is ideal for training on a fence and looks spectacular when grown over an archway or on a trellis. It is equally perfect for growing as a contained or trailing shrub where it can spill over a retaining wall or the like, and is well suited to cottage and modern gardens.
