Dwarf Gardenia Radicans

The Dwarf Gardenia Radicans (Gardenia jasminoides 'Radicans') is a broadleaf evergreen flowering shrub with four seasons of gorgeous interest! The snowy white blossoms are ultra-fragrant and the long-blooming flowers appear in semi-double blooms from late spring to mid/late summer!

Much to the delight of your pollinators and your vases, bubble bowls, and bouquets indoors! Their fragrance is intense and sure to turn heads even more often than the sight of the delicate, white blossoms.

Dwarf Gardenia Radicans has a gently rounded form and dwarf nature, so is much smaller than other Gardenia varieties. Dark green, shiny leaves that are leathery in texture will fill out your Gardenia, providing an elegant contrast against the white flowers. Remaining a consistent green year-round, these are fantastic shrubs throughout USDA planting zones 7 to 9, handling high heat and humidity with ease!

Landscape Application:

Imagine an intense, sweet scent drifting through your window on a summer breeze...and that same scent greeting you every time you step out your front door. That's what you can expect for much of your summer with a Dwarf Gardenia Radicans in your yard.

This smaller-sized, compact variety would make a great border along your sidewalk or perennial bed, or perhaps plant a few in containers to scatter about on your porch or front stoop.

This dwarf variety is small enough to fit just about anywhere and does great in containers, so you can even plant a few to move indoors for winter.

The Dwarf Gardenia Radicans is relatively easy to care for and will prove a valuable asset! Not only to your home and curb appeal but also to the wildlife that live there, as it's a strong lure to pollinators but not deer.

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Gardenia are best grown in full sun and flowers the best in at least 6 hours of sunlight a day. Provide an enriched, well-drained soil location with regular moisture access during their first year in the ground. A 3-4 inch deep layer of mulch around the root system holds moisture more consistently in the soil, but also keeps the foliage cleaner and healthier by reducing soil and dirt splashing onto the leaves after a rain.

Prune Gardenias after their summer flowers fade to remove the browning blossoms and tidy up the shrub's shape. Provide regular fertilizer for evergreen plants to keep your Gardenia stress-free and growing to its fullest potential.

• Full Sun Shrubs

• Moderate Moisture Needs
• Appreciates Mulched Beds & Regular Fertility
