Trachelospermum Jasminoides Variegatum | 3L Pot

Scented yellow flowers over a long period. Position: full sun Soil: fertile, well-drained soil Rate of growth: average Flowering period: June to August Hardiness: frost hardy (may need winter protection) A new and attractive woody, evergreen climber with rich, dark green leaves which often turn bronze in winter. Unlike its well-established and much-loved relative, its flowers are yellow (from creamy to buttery), but they still have the same sweet perfume. These appear in clusters over a long period from summer to autumn. Happiest grown against a warm, sunny wall in milder areas, it is said to be hardy to -10C, but in areas prone to severe frosts it will need winter protection. Garden care: After flowering has finished prune back to fit the available space. In frost-prone areas, grow in pots of loam-based potting compost such as John Innes No.2 and move to a sheltered spot in winter.
