Trachelopermum asiaticum (Japanese star jasmine) is an attractive evergreen climber. It can also be used as a ground cover.
The leaves can vary in colour throughout the year. In cooler climates like down here in Victoria during winter the leaves will often turn a greenish-purple. Then once the warmer weather returns the new growth is a bright green. As the leaves mature they become a more deep green.
In late spring/ early summer it produces masses a tiny star shaped white flowers. These are incredibly fragrant. As they age they become a pale yellow.
A great climber for over arbours, trellis or wire fences. It is also a very popular as a ground cover.
Trachelopermum asiaticum performs best in well drained soil. It will tolerate frosts, but the leaves will turn a more purple colour.
