Plain Trachelospermum or variegated Trachelospermum

I planted Trachelospermum by the side of the house besude a row of Yuletide camellia. I am now wondering if I should replace them with Trachelospermum variegata. I planted the plain Trachelospermum in fall, so they are still quite small…

Personally, I far prefer the plain green. The flowers don't show up against variegated foliage and I find variegated Trachelospermums to look fussy and unrestful. Also your Yuletide flowers will look better against a dark green background imo.
