Gardenia Kleim's Hardy
Gardenia Kleim's Hardy (Gardenia jasminoides) is a resilient, dwarf evergreen shrub prized for its thick, glossy dark green foliage and extremely fragrant, star-shaped white flowers. Gardenia Kleim's Hardy blooms nearly year-round in warm climates with temperatures above 60°F, or produces a heavy floral display from late spring through early summer in cooler regions. This cold-tolerant Gardenia Kleim's Hardy thrives in partial sun with moist, well-drained, acidic soil. One of the few gardenias that tolerates more direct sunlight when protected from reflected heat, Gardenia Kleim's Hardy also features frost-resistant flower buds, making it an ideal choice for borders, containers, and foundation plantings.
