Gardenia August Beauty
Gardenia August Beauty (Gardenia jasminoides) is a dwarf evergreen shrub prized for its thick, glossy dark green foliage and large, velvety double white flowers with an intense, sweet fragrance. This Gardenia blooms nearly year-round in warm climates where temperatures remain above 60°F, or flowers from late spring through early summer in cooler regions.
Gardenia August Beauty grows best in partial sun and thrives in acidic, moist, well-drained soil. Its lush foliage and highly fragrant blooms make this Gardenia a classic choice for foundation plantings, containers, and entryways where its scent can be enjoyed.
