Description
The Pandorea jasminoides 'Variegata' is an exquisite variegated leaf form of the False Jasmine Vine, a magnificent but frost-sensitive climbing plant. It is an Australian cousin of our trumpet vines, whose long flowering period is enhanced by lush cream-splashed foliage. It blooms generously, displaying beautiful clusters of funnel-shaped flowers in white pink-with a purple-pink throat. While it has minimal cold resistance, this climber thrives in any fertile and well-drained soil as long as it is provided with the sunlight it needs to flower well. In cooler climates, it makes a superb terrace plant, as it can be easily grown in containers and stored in winter.
The Pandorea jasmin is a species in the Bignoniaceae family. It is native to Southeast Australia, specifically the relatively dry sclerophyll forests, which are found in the region governed by a humid tropical climate. It is a climber with a woody base and powerful rambling branches, lacking attachment systems, which spontaneously wrap around a support. The "Variegata" form is slightly less vigorous than the type. It grows quickly, reaching 5 to 6 metres (16 to 20 feet) in all directions in good conditions in open ground. In a container, its development will be much more modest. The vegetation is destroyed at -0°C (32°F), but a well-established base protected by a thick mulch can survive short frosts of around -5°C (23°F): it is a plant suitable for open ground cultivation in zones 9b, 10, and beyond.
Pandorea jasminoides 'Variegata' flowering takes place from May to June to September. The flowers bloom at the ends of the year's shoots and in the axils of the leaves, grouped in ramified clusters. They have widely flared trumpet-shaped flowers, 6-8 cm (2-3in) long and wide. Each flower is composed of a tube that widens into five rounded and undulated lobes. They are slightly pinkish-white, enhanced by a dark purple-pink throat. This somewhat fragrant flowering is nectar-rich and attractive to bees and bumblebees. The foliage persists in winter in suitable climates. It consists of leaves divided into 5-7 large ovate to lanceolate leaflets with smooth edges, randomly mottled with pale yellow to cream on a green background. In case of frost, all above-ground parts of the plant are destroyed. But it will regrow from the base late in spring.
The Pandorea jasminoides 'Variegata' deserves a prominent place on the most sheltered facade of the house or, better yet, in a large pot on the terrace during the summer. It can be used in many ways in a garden with a very mild climate, to cover a pergola, a tree that is a bit bare in autumn or winter, to hide an unsightly building or a south-facing facade. This exotic plant needs to be fully protected from frost during the first years of cultivation. That is one of its only requirements, as it grows enthusiastically in any deep and adequately prepared soil without excessive limestone. In the South of France, occasional watering is necessary to support flowering. For example, combine it with pink trumpet vine (Podranea ricasoliana) or Hardenbergia violacea, whose flowering periods are staggered.

Planting and care
The Pandorea jasminoides is a plant that is not very demanding on soil type but is not very hardy. It grows in deep, loose, well-drained garden soil without excessive limestone, enriched with leaf compost. It tolerates a lack of water once established in the ground and is resistant to sea spray. In fertile soil that remains moist, its growth will be multiplied, and its flowering will be abundant in summer. It prefers a very sunny and warm exposure to flower well. Plant it along a well-exposed wall or against a tree, initially guiding the young voluble branches. Water regularly to help your Pandorea jasminoides establish itself. Some spaced but abundant watering is necessary in case of dry summers. If your garden is in a borderline hardiness zone, prune your Pandorea to 60 cm (24in) from the ground, protect its stump from heavy frost with a thick mulch, and surround the base of the plant with a thick winter cover. Pruning is not essential. If it is necessary, do it in spring. Since this plant flowers on the branches of the year, if they are not pruned, they produce secondary branches, which will bloom during the season. Therefore, prune, leaving a few buds on each branch. You can regularly pinch the young branches to encourage branching.
If you cultivate your Pandorea in a pot, choose a large container (it grows very quickly) with a layer of gravel or clay pellets at the bottom for drainage. Fill it with garden soil, coarse sand, leaf compost, and well-rotted manure. Water regularly and abundantly in hot weather. Fertilise regularly. You can prune, but not excessively, to make it easier to bring your pot indoors to a bright location and keep it frost-free. Reduce watering in winter.

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).
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 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.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
