Frost Proof Gardenia – 3 Gallon

Gleaming blooms, heavenly scent, and hardy evergreen nature! The Frost Proof Gardenia (Gardenia jasminoides ‘Frostproof’) is a phenomenal shrub with so much year-round appeal!

An icon and real southern bell, these are natives to China and have been a southern institution since the 1700s. Traditional Gardenias are finicky and hard to grow. The Frost Proof Gardenia is low-maintenance and cold-hardy with dark-green, shiny leaves and large, snowy white blooms.

The Frost Proof Gardenia is an upright, dense, evergreen that fits about anywhere and looks amazing while doing it! The fragrant flowers abundantly from mid-spring to fall so you can enjoy the intoxicating scent for months.

The double-flowered, snow-white blooms are the crowning glory of this shrub and lovely additions to floral designs and bouquets! A solitary bloom floating in a bubble bowl will scent your entire space! It’s no wonder these are the most popular in weddings and boutonnieres! Reminding one of luxurious French perfume.

These incredible evergreen shrubs have an upright form, bushy growth habit, and gorgeous dark-green leaves that create a handsome addition to any landscape! Blooming their first year, these beauties explode with fragrance and versatility.

Imagine that heavenly, sweet scent perfuming your garden throughout the day and in the moonlit evenings!

PLANTING

Select an area with full to partial sun (at least 4 hours of sunlight daily) and well-draining soil. To plant, dig a hole no deeper than the root ball and two to three times the width of the root ball. Remove your plant from its container and carefully but firmly loosen the root ball. Set the Frost Proof Gardenia into the hole you’ve prepared, making sure the top of the root ball is slightly above the soil level.

WATERING

Be sure to keep your Frost Proof Gardenia moist but not soggy. Do not let it dry out between waterings as this stresses the plant. You can rely upon natural rainfall but double-check your soil for moisture about 2 inches down. If the gardenia is receiving less than an inch per week, supplement it with water from the hose or from a watering can.

FERTILIZING

Feed the Frost Proof Gardenia bi-weekly with non-alkaline fertilizer. A teaspoon of agricultural sulfur in the soil may help lower soil pH. Fertilize gardenias after they’ve bloomed with a well-balanced shrub fertilizer.

PRUNING

Frost Proof Gardenias require no pruning, except for shaping. To maintain shape, prune in late winter before new growth emerges. Cut with hand pruners, and not powered trimmers, to avoid scarring leaves.
