Description
The Variegated Confederate Jasmine is a fast growing evergreen flowering vine that produces abundant clusters of highly fragrant, star-shaped white flowers from spring through early summer that fill the garden with a delicious, sweet aroma. The fragrance is impossible to describe, but it’s very nice and not overpowering. Due to the brightly variegated white, yellow, and green leaves, the flowers aren’t quite as noticeable on this variety as they are on the green leave varieties, but they are just as fragrant and you get the extra bonus with the variegated foliage that will brighten up your garden year round. Excellent for growing on trellises, pergolas, fences and other structures and also as a spiller in pots, window boxes and hanging baskets.Â
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing quickly to 12 feet or more in height or length and 2 to 4 feet wide, Variegated Confederate Jasmine is ideal for use to climb along the top of fences, on a trellis, on a mailbox, or over an arbor, arch or any other structure that will support this magnificent fragrant vine. It can also be useful as a ground cover for slopes or embankments where it will sprawl and naturalize, or to climb into smaller trees where early flowering is especially noticeable. To better and more often enjoy the wonderful fragrance, make sure to plant this one near windows or outdoor living spaces. Needless to say, the fragrant flowers make this vine a must in sensory gardens!
Suggested Spacing:Â 3 to 4 feet apart along fences
Note:Â Â For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 7a, where this Jasmine variety is not reliably winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring. That said, this vine grows quickly so you might have to cut it back some before bringing it indoors.
Growing Preferences
Variegated Confederate Jasmine is exceptionally easy to grow in most any moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and full sun to part shade. It will tolerate somewhat damp soils but is also quite drought tolerant when established. In warmer climates the vine might appreciate a little break from the afternoon sun. Responds well to pruning or shearing for shaping purposes or to limit size. Avoid pruning prior to the flowering season or you will cut off the flower buds.
