Jasminum officinale 'Variegatum', also known as Variegated Jasmine, is a hardy deciduous climbing plant celebrated for its stunning foliage and fragrant blooms. Each leaf features a rich green centre surrounded by creamy-white margins, providing a striking contrast that enhances any garden space. The variegated foliage catches light beautifully, adding texture and brightness to fences, walls, or garden borders even before the flowers appear. In summer and throughout early autumn, the plant produces clusters of delicate, star-shaped white flowers with an intense, sweet fragrance, especially potent during warm evenings. This combination of visual and olfactory appeal makes 'Variegatum' a true sensory delight.
The plant grows vigorously, quickly providing dense vertical coverage, making it ideal for training over garden arches, pergolas, trellises, or even along sunny fences. Its flexible stems allow it to be shaped and guided according to your garden design, creating both structural and decorative effects. Despite its vigorous growth, it is low-maintenance: regular pruning after flowering maintains its shape and encourages new growth, while healthy soil and adequate sunlight support robust flowering.
