Description

A kaleidoscope of color that truly inspires the visual senses, featuring evergreen leaves marbled in seemingly endless patterns and hues or orange, yed, yellow and white, the Summer Sunset Asian Jasmine is a dramatic addition as a groundcover, climber or spiller over walls in the landscape or in container gardens, where its bright colored foliage flows over the containers edge. The combination of all the colors in the “sunset” is truly spectacular, and you’ll be happy to know it produces these bright colors in either sun or shade.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Summer Sunset Asiatic Jasmine is an exceptionally versatile plant with many uses in landscape and garden design. Although it makes a delightful groundcover that lights up the sunny or shady areas of the landscape, it can also be used as a climber on trellises, fences and other structures that provide support. It also brightens up container gardens and hanging baskets where it can be used as an accent plant or underplanting that will dramatically spill over the containers edge. Because it grows in shade, it is perfect for use under the canopies of large shade trees, decks or other overhead structures. A fine addition to any landscape where it will grow.

Suggested Spacing: 12 to 36 inches apart for mass planting as a groundcover
