This gardenia out-performs others: its superior grafted rootstock allows it to easily take in soil nutrients and thrive in poor soils, and it has excellent resistance to nematodes. Produces a profusion of fragrant white blooms with glossy evergreen foliage. An excellent cut flower. Plant in the landscape or in patio containers where its scent can be enjoyed.

| Design Ideas | With its low, dense growth, this Gardenia is a favorite for limited space. Mounding habit is complementary in Asian-inspired gardens and on mounds with boulders where it appears to spill down a slope. Best planted close to outdoor living spaces in heavy ceramic pots or raised planters to enjoy the lovely fragrance. Keep away from big bushy shrubs which can overwhelm this smaller Gardenia. |
