Tricolor Asian Jasmine

This variety of Jasmine is a self-climbing or sprawling vine. While it is not known for exceptionally visual flowers, its pink, white and green-blushed foliage is the real attention getter. If it is allowed to climb, it will produce tiny yellow very fragrant flowers. New foliage emerges nearly pure white with pink blush and occasional green speckles. Mature leaves are small and oval with a glossy finish. Performs best in Zones 7B-11 and can handle full sun in cooler areas, but needs partial shade in the hotter zones. In mild winter regions, the white, pink, rose and green foliage will add visual interest year-round and the pinks will deepen to a rosy reddish burgundy.

Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera is a succulent plant species that is stemless with thick, greenish, fleshy leaves that fan out from its central stem. This plant is commonly found in many cosmetics, beverages, and topical medications. It is known best to treat superficial burns and sunburns due to its soothing cooling properties. It can be grown indoors as a house plant or outdoors as a perennial. If grown outdoors, it must be dry with full sun to very bright indirect light; this plant needs bright light in order to flower. Grown here at Creekside Nursery in a 12 quart flat and two gallon container!
