Gardenia Radicans
Gardenia Radicans (Gardenia jasminoides) is a dwarf, spreading evergreen shrub prized for its thick, glossy dark green foliage and extremely fragrant petite white flowers. Gardenia Radicans offers classic gardenia fragrance in a compact, low-growing form, making Gardenia Radicans an excellent choice for smaller landscapes and layered plantings. In warm climates, Gardenia Radicans can bloom nearly year-round when temperatures remain above 60°F, while cooler regions enjoy abundant Gardenia Radicans flowering from late spring to early summer. This miniature gardenia thrives in partial sun and prefers moist, well-drained, acidic soil. With its low, spreading habit, Gardenia Radicans is ideal as a fragrant groundcover, edging plant, or container accent, providing year-round greenery and dependable beauty to any landscape.
