Frost Proof Gardenia

Frost Proof Gardenia is an upright evergreen shrub noted for its thick, glossy dark green leaves and extremely fragrant semi-double white flowers. These flowers either bloom throughout the year if the temperature doesn’t dip below 60 degrees F or in late spring to early summer.  Prefers partial sun, acidic, and moist well-drained soils.  Tolerates more direct sun than other gardenias, and flower buds resist frost damage.
