    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    From Japan, an upright evergreen shrub growing to 4' with variegated leaves. Single white flowers with a delightful fragrance. Sun to dappled shade. Hardy to zone 7. Benefits from additional nitrogen and Iron. Said to be the most cold hardy of all variegated leaf gardenias.

    Shared with us by plantsman Ted Stephens from one of his many Japanese adventures, this upright, evergreen shrub, to 4' tall or so, displays 2" x 4" strikingly variegated leaves with single white, gardenia-fragrant flowers and has been reported the most cold hardy of the variegated gardenias. Best in a sunny situation or dappled shade in the hottest parts of the world with regular summer water. Has not been as fussy as some others about nutrients, but, as with all gardenias, benefits from generous amounts of nitrogen and iron. Frost hardy in mid to upper USDA zone 7.
