Trachelospermum jasminoides 'Tri-Color,' commonly known as the Tricolor Jasmine or Confederate Jasmine, is a stunning evergreen vine that features variegated foliage with a mix of green, creamy white, and pink hues. The leaves have a delicate, multi-colored appearance that adds visual interest to gardens, containers, or trellises. In late spring to early summer, this variety produces fragrant, white star-shaped flowers that fill the air with a sweet, jasmine-like scent. 'Tri-Color' is an excellent choice for adding color, fragrance, and texture to both sunny and partially shaded areas. It is well-suited to climbing on fences, walls, or arbors and also works well as a ground cover.
