    One of the best winter hardiness ratings of the common gardenias. Can make it in Zone 6B if sited properly, a nice cozy corner near a brick house, or something similar. Protect from wind and provide a good mulch. Shooting Start is also noted for its fragrant, single white flowers to 3" in diameter which appear from May to June. Gorgeous, glossy, evergreen foliage is lance-shaped and up to 4" long. This plant originated from seeds originally collected at the Beijing Botanical Garden in China.
