Description

Imagine stepping onto your patio on a warm summer's evening and being hit by rich, warm, deeply jasmine-like fragrance of Gardenia 'Fool Proof'!

The blooms are fully double, creamy-white and shaped like the most exquisite garden rose, they emerge from late spring and keep on coming right through summer. They are set against lush, deeply glossy, dark-green evergreen leaves that look immaculate all year round.

Bred for improved resilience and ease of care, it is a breakthrough variety that performs far more reliably than many traditional gardenias.

Grow it in a generous pot on a warm, sheltered sunny patio through the summer months, then move it into a cool conservatory or frost-free greenhouse over winter.

Supplied as an established plant in a 17cm pot, ready to plant.
