Snow-N-Summer™ Asiatic Jasmine | Ground Cover

The Ground Cover That Changes Color All Season Long

Snow-N-Summer™ Asiatic Jasmine (Trachelospermum asiaticum 'HOSNS') is one of the most visually dynamic ground covers available — and one of the toughest. New growth emerges in shades of pink and cream, matures to bright white-variegated green, then deepens to rich dark green as the season progresses. The result is a living tapestry of color that shifts and evolves all year long, even in the heat and drought conditions that defeat lesser ground covers.

Available as a single plant, a convenient 2-Pack for faster coverage, or as a trained Espalier specimen for vertical accent use on walls, fences, and trellises.

Why Landscapers and Gardeners Choose Snow-N-Summer™

• Stunning variegated foliage — new growth flushes pink and cream; matures to white-and-green; holds color through heat and drought
• Exceptional ground cover performance — spreads densely to suppress weeds; fills in slopes, borders, and difficult areas where grass won’t grow
• Drought-tolerant once established — one of the most heat and drought-resilient ground covers for southern landscapes
• Deer-resistant — the milky sap deters deer browsing
• Versatile use — works as ground cover, cascading over walls, climbing a trellis, or trained as an espalier on a fence or structure
• Low maintenance — requires little to no fertilizing once established; trim once or twice a year to keep tidy

Hardiness & Growing Zones

• USDA Hardiness Zones: 7–10
• Zone 7: Hardy in-ground; may experience some winter bronzing or leaf drop in severe cold — recovers quickly in spring; mulch lightly for root protection
• Zones 8–9: Ideal conditions; maintains dense, semi-evergreen to evergreen foliage year-round with vigorous spreading
• Zone 10: Thrives in heat; provide supplemental water during extended dry periods until fully established
• Sunlight: Full sun to full shade (one of the most shade-tolerant variegated ground covers available; variegation is most vivid in partial shade)
• Soil: Adaptable to most well-drained soils; tolerates clay, sandy, and loamy conditions; avoid waterlogged sites
• Spread: 3–6 ft wide per plant; space 18–24 inches apart for ground cover use
• Mature height: 6–12 inches as ground cover; up to 3–4 ft when trained vertically

Planting & Care Tips

Plant in well-drained soil with adequate moisture during the first growing season. Water regularly to establish, then reduce frequency — Snow-N-Summer™ is quite drought-tolerant once rooted in. For ground cover use, space plants 18–24 inches apart and mulch between plants until they fill in (typically 1–2 seasons). Trim once in late winter or early spring to remove any winter-damaged growth and encourage fresh, colorful new growth. Fertilize lightly in spring if desired, but established plants rarely need it.

Available Options

• 1 Quart (Single) — most economical; ideal for mass planting projects
• 1 Gallon (Single) — well-rooted; faster establishment and spread
• 1 Gallon (2-Pack) — two plants at a value price; great for filling in borders or slopes faster
• 2 Gallon (Single) — largest standard size; immediate visual impact
• Espalier (2 Gallon) — pre-trained vertical specimen; ready to mount on a wall, fence, or trellis for an instant architectural accent
