Description

Fully hardy Gardenia which can survive outside in temperatures as low as -10C!

Just as stunning and as fragrant as its indoor relative, the snowy white, waxy pinwheel-like flowers of Gardenia completely smother its glossy, evergreen leaves from early June onwards, opening from tight buds to exquisite pinwheels.

The scent of gardenias is so gorgeous its often used in perfume, so imagine sitting on your patio this summer surrounded by its intoxicatingly sweet fragrance - heavenly - and something that your friends and family will be sure to remark on.

A beautifully compact shrub, this hardy Gardenia is very easy to grow and simple to care for. Simply plant it in a pot or a garden border, preferably using ericaceous compost, and it will happily grow and flourish outdoors all year round.

Supplied as an established plant in a 9cm pot, ready to plant out.

Top Tips

Gardenias require regular watering to keep them happy, preferably using raniwater.
