late winter sunny flowers

Jasminum nudiflorum 'Mystique' – This version of the Winter Jasmine has all the charm and possibilities of the straight species with one difference: small, lovely variegated leaves brighten this interesting shrub through the growing season once the sunny late winter/early spring flowers have had their reign. The 1.5 to 2” long flowers with wavy petals up to 1” wide are cheerfully yellow and very showy. The flowers open on old wood evergreen stems before the foliage emerges in January to March (depending upon the zone and severity of the winter). They can be trained up with some work onto a trellis and may grow 10’ to 15’. As this is not a self-clinging plant the stems will have to be supported or tied. Or it can be used as an interesting ground cover growing 3’ to 4’ tall by up to 7’ wide in time. Full sun in draining soil. In the north spring planting is strongly recommended. Established, potted multi-stemmed Variegated Winter Jasmine, cutting grown.
