Also known as: Variegated Asiatic Jasmine, Summer Sunset Jasmine

Native to Japan and Korea, Jasmine Minima Summer Sunset is one of the most colorful groundcovers you can grow. New leaves emerge bright red before turning creamy yellow, settling into a stunning mix of green, blue-green, orange, yellow, and red — a constantly shifting display unlike any other plant in the garden. It also produces fragrant white flowers in summer, adding scent to its already vibrant, ever-changing foliage.
