Dwarf Radicans Gardenia

Gardenia jasminoides ‘Radicans’ – The Gardenia Radicans is a beautiful, low-growing form of the common gardenia, with the same wonderful perfume from star-shaped white blossoms. It has attractive, glossy evergreen leaves of a rich dark color, and blooms throughout spring and early summer. It will grow well in partially shaded areas in any damp soil. Plant it as a ground-cover below larger shrubs, and create an attractive extra layer of color in your garden. When its rich perfume fills the warm area, you will be able to enjoy the aroma that says ‘languid summer days’ better than anything else can. Mix up a mint-julep, sit back and enjoy the essence of southern life.

• Attractive evergreen ground cover
• Richly perfumed star-shaped white flowers
• Slightly more hardy and easier to grow than other gardenias
• Spreads rapidly in partially-shade areas of the garden
• Only minimal care needed to enjoy that classic scent

Choose a partially-shaded location for your Gardenia Radicans, in slightly acidic soil that stays moist but is not constantly wet. This plant will grow from the warmer parts of zone 7 and through all the warmer parts of the country, so it can be planted in many states. It has no significant pests and diseases and needs no special care, pruning or other fussing to fill your garden with glorious fragrance for months and months from its glowing pure-white flowers.
