Read detailed description :

The star-shaped double flowers are a charming cream colour and very perfumed, abundant from May to July and repeating periodically up to September. This small and compact plant is quite vigorous for a Gardenia. The persistant leaves are dark green and shiny. Perfect in rock gardens, bordering terraces or in containers to be sheltered in winter from frosts. Appreciates a rich, fresh and well drained soil with a veiled sun exposure. Avoid direct sun from the East, as the vegetation may burn during frosts. In good conditions, the plant will resist cold temperatures down to -10°C.
