Beautiful, semi-evergreen variegated foliage makes a great visual display even when not in bloom; sun for best color, but adapts to shade; pale yellow flowers appear from spring to fall; a nice mounded habit, or can be trained on pergolas or trellises

Ornamental Features

Gold Tip Jasmine is bathed in stunning buttery yellow star-shaped flowers along the branches from mid spring to mid fall. The flowers are excellent for cutting. It has attractive yellow-variegated emerald green foliage with hints of gold which emerges yellow in spring. The oval leaves are highly ornamental but do not develop any appreciable fall color.

Landscape Attributes

Gold Tip Jasmine is a dense multi-stemmed deciduous shrub with a mounded form. Its relatively fine texture sets it apart from other landscape plants with less refined foliage.

This shrub will require occasional maintenance and upkeep, and should only be pruned after flowering to avoid removing any of the current season's flowers. It is a good choice for attracting bees and butterflies to your yard. It has no significant negative characteristics.

Gold Tip Jasmine is recommended for the following landscape applications;

  • Mass Planting
  • Hedges/Screening
  • General Garden Use

Planting & Growing

Gold Tip Jasmine will grow to be about 5 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 5 feet. It tends to fill out right to the ground and therefore doesn't necessarily require facer plants in front, and is suitable for planting under power lines. It grows at a medium rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 30 years.

This shrub does best in full sun to partial shade. It does best in average to evenly moist conditions, but will not tolerate standing water. It may require supplemental watering during periods of drought or extended heat. It is not particular as to soil pH, but grows best in rich soils. It is somewhat tolerant of urban pollution. Consider applying a thick mulch around the root zone in winter to protect it in exposed locations or colder microclimates. This is a selected variety of a species not originally from North America.
