Read detailed description :

This compact shrub is nonetheless vigorous for a Gardenia. The cream flowers, heavily perfumed, are abundant from May to July and repeat periodically up to September. The persistant glossy leaves are dark green and shiny. Perfect in sheltered rock gardens, bordering terraces or in containers to be protected 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.
