Trachelospermum jasminoides `Tri-color`
Trachelospermum jasminoides `Tri-color` is a slow-growing groundcover plant that prefers full sun to part shade position. It tends to lose its variegated foliage in heavy shade, and the leaves revert to greener tones. `Tri-color` prefers a warm aspect with rich, well-drained soil. Once established, they are very drought tolerant.
