There are cool plants and then there are VERY COOl plants. Trachelospermum jasminoides variegata is a VERY COOL plant. The fragrance of a vine in bloom is something to tell your grandchildren about, it is totally enchanting. The reason I grow most of my plants, though, is for their foliage and this one is a sure-fire winner with it's shades of teal and kelly green, cream and white; add the reds and purples of older leaves and it is an incredible sight. I love it!
