Variegated Chandani ( Variegated Crape Jasmine )

Description

Variegated Crape Jasmine is a stunning variety of the common Crape Jasmine (Tabernaemontana divaricata), distinguished by its beautiful variegated leaves. The foliage features a striking contrast of green and creamy white or yellow patterns, adding visual interest to any garden or indoor space. Like its green-leaved counterpart, the plant blooms with fragrant, white, pinwheel-shaped flowers that appear year-round in warmer climates, with peak blooming during the summer and monsoon months.

This low-maintenance shrub thrives in bright, indirect sunlight but can tolerate partial shade. It prefers well-drained soil and moderate watering, allowing the top layer of soil to dry out between waterings. Due to its variegated leaves, this variety is particularly valued as an ornamental plant for both outdoor gardens and indoor pots. The flowers are often used in religious rituals and as decorative elements.

Variegated Crape Jasmine is an ideal plant for hedges, garden borders, or as a standalone decorative plant in containers, adding a touch of elegance to any setting.
