A self-climbing or sprawling woody vine that works beautifully as a ground cover, the Tricolor Asiatic jasmine is also called the variegated jasmine. Lacking visually stunning flowers, its pink-and white-blushed foliage draws all the attention.
Grow the Tricolor Asiatic jasmine in a fertile, well-draining soil that is not alkaline in pH. Soils rich in organic matter promote best growth of leaves and stem lengths. If soil remains evenly moist across the growing season, this plant tolerates about six to 10 hours of daily direct sun. If less-than-optimal irrigation or soil conditions reign, planting it in partial sun to partial shade is best.
A shifting shade or sun exposure that provides between four and eight hours suffices. During the summer, water freely, providing 1 to 2 inches of irrigation if rainfall is lacking. Liquid fertilizer or granular slow-release fertilizers work best in spring and summer. Avoid over-watering and fertilizing in winter, when the plant becomes nearly dormant and halts growth.
