The ScentAmazing Gardenia is a remarkable new variety of this popular plant, notable for its powerful fragrance, extended period of bloom, from spring to fall, and a very dense, compact habit. It forms a perfect mound up to 3 feet tall and 3 feet across, so it will never be too big for even a small garden. For a larger area, plant several in a group as foreground to larger shrubs. The evergreen foliage is very glossy and deep green, giving the plant a lustrous quality. Starting in spring it will be covered in wave after wave of beautiful perfumed flowers. These are two inches across, with six broad petals and a yellow center, looking like pure-white stars in a deep green sky. Use this beautiful plant in beds in your garden, as a low hedge, or plant it in a container on your terrace or balcony.
Your ScentAmazing Gardenia will grow from zone 7 to 10, and it prefers a location with morning sun and afternoon shade, especially in the warmest areas. It grows best in acidic soil that is moist but well-drained. If you do not have suitable soil, it is easy to grow this plant in a pot, using compost for acid-loving plants. This way you can even grow it in colder zones, as you can bring it into a warmer place during the winter months. This plant has been especially bred to be resistant to heat and disease, and it is usually pest free as well.
