Description

The growth of this plant is lower and more compact than the 'Mystery' variety. It grows 3'-4' high and as wide. Its foliage is smaller, but has the same dark, glossy green color as the 'Mystery' variety. Its white double flowers are 1.5" wide, and are highly fragrant. It needs sun to part shade for growth, and it blooms more profusely than the 'Mystery'. Gardenias do best with fertile, acidic, moist soil. Leaves become chlorotic turning yellow, indicating more iron supplement needed. Not an easy-care plant but well worth the effort for magnificent blooms and fragrance.
