The Fool Proof™ Gardenia is a breakthrough in re-blooming gardenias, producing a huge display in spring, followed by continuing flushes of flowers from early summer into fall. The large blooms are fully-double, pure white and rich with the powerful fragrance of gardenia, the most wonderful perfume in the world. It quickly grows into a bush reaching 4 feet tall and 3 feet wide, making a perfect specimen or center-piece in your garden beds. The handsome glossy green leaves are unusually slender, giving an elegant and graceful look to the plant. It can also be grown in a tub or pot.
A spot with morning sun and afternoon shade is the perfect location for the Fool Proof™ Gardenia. It grows best in rich, moist, slightly acidic soil that is well-drained. Keep it damp, but don’t overwater. This bush is more resistant to pests, diseases and adverse environmental conditions that other varieties and much easier to grow.
