Second opinion after 1 year of growth, this jasmine remains very small and seems to compensate for the beauty of its foliage by the smallness of its size... very reserved about the result, therefore...

Description
The Trachelospermum asiaticum 'Ogon Nishiki' (Summer Sunset) is a remarkably colourful variety of star jasmine, with evergreen foliage that forms a thick, multicoloured cloak that changes throughout the year. This small climbing plant is often used as ground cover, particularly in partial shade. Its glossy foliage creates a constantly changing festival of colours, including yellow, red, bronze, orange, green, and cream-white. The second advantage of this plant is its summer flowering, with small pale yellow stars that exude a fragrance more delicate than that of jasmine. It is best planted in partial shade to protect its foliage from sunburn, in a container on the terrace to shelter it from freezing temperatures, or in the ground in milder climates.
The Trachelospermum asiaticum, also known as yellow star jasmine, is a Japanese and Korean cousin of the Chinese Trachelospermum jasminoides. The 'Ogon Nishiki' selection distinguishes itself with its compact size and variegated multicoloured foliage. All of these plants belong to the apocynaceae family. This small climbing vine produces stems that do not exceed 1.50 m (5ft) in length. The spring growth is bright orange, then the stems turn green. They bear small, glossy, simple leaves that are approximately 5 cm (2in) long and 2.5 cm (1in) wide, with entire, narrow, ovate shapes and pointed tips. Their colour is a mixture of green, red, and cream-white from spring to summer, with autumn and cooler temperatures bringing out warmer colours such as yellow, orange, and bronze. The flowering occurs from May-June to August-September, in successive waves depending on the soil's freshness. Small clusters of primrose-yellow star-shaped flowers, helical in shape and 2 to 5 cm (1 to 2in) wide, appear in the axils of the leaves or at the ends of the branches. Their fragrance, reminiscent of jasmine, is much sweeter and heavily infused with vanilla.
The Trachelospermum 'Ogon Nishiki', with its harlequin habit, brings life to partially shaded areas throughout the year. In most continental European climates, except for the coldest ones, it can be planted in the ground, preferably in well-drained and humus-rich soil, in a gently sunny or semi-shaded location. It forms a magnificent ground cover but can also be planted in masses near a fence, transforming it. It can be grown in a pot in colder regions to provide winter protection. It can easily be stored in an unheated conservatory to enjoy its beautiful winter foliage. Balconies and terraces can also accommodate its astonishing foliage and delightful flowering by placing the plant in a large container.

Planting and care
Plant Trachelospermum asiaticum 'Ogon Nishiki' in full sun in the north, or in partial shade in hot and very sunny climates. Plant it in well-drained soil, without excessive limestone, that remains moist and sheltered from cold winds. It can withstand -12°C (10.4°F), occasionally even -15°C (5°F), but will fare better against very strong frosts if the foliage is protected with a winter covering. During growth, water once or twice a week and apply liquid fertiliser twice a month. You can optionally prune it in late winter to control the growth of the young plant or after each flowering period.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
