Variegated Jasmine Foliage Brings Color
Variegated jasmines can brighten a container and prove that foliage can be as beautiful as flowers in a Southern garden.
Their foliage shifts through shades of yellow, orange, copper, bronze, and cream-and-green patterns, stealing the spotlight with their leaves alone.
A visit to Denise Temple's garden in Meridian showcased her mastery of using variegated jasmines in landscape, with containers overflowing with vibrant color and lush texture.
- Summer Sunset Asiatic jasmine was a notable plant, with foliage glowing in fiery shades of yellow, orange, copper, and bronze mingled with deep green.
- The leathery, glossy leaves shimmer in sunlight, creating a dynamic play of warm tones.
Each container seemed to glow with life, and the varied hues and patterns of the foliage made every corner of her garden worth a second look.
