Clifton's Flower & Garden Center

Gardenia Veitchii is highly prized for the profusion of sweetly fragrant double blooms that cover the plant each spring into summer. Flowers make excellent cut flowers. Beautiful specimen, its upright branches are covered with glossy foliage. Terrific container plant. Evergreen. Full to partial sun. Grows to 4 feet high, 3 feet wide or clip to shape. 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. Likes soil that is loose, rich and fast draining. Hardy to USDA zone 8 and all higher zones.
