Summer Sunset™ Asiatic Jasmine

Add year-round color and dependable groundcover to your landscape with Summer Sunset™ Asiatic Jasmine (Trachelospermum asiaticum ‘Summer Sunset’). This eye-catching evergreen features vibrant new foliage in brilliant shades of bronze, orange, red, and copper that gradually matures to rich green, creating a colorful display through every season. Unlike traditional Asiatic jasmine, this ornamental variety is grown primarily for its striking foliage rather than its flowers. Its dense, spreading habit makes it an excellent choice for suppressing weeds, reducing erosion on slopes, and creating a lush carpet beneath trees, along walkways, or in landscape beds. Heat tolerant, drought tolerant once established, and exceptionally low maintenance, Summer Sunset™ Asiatic Jasmine is an outstanding choice for colorful, long-lasting landscapes in USDA Zones 7–10.
