Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Beautiful foliage and a heavenly scent make this Gardenia a masterpiece of creation. A vigorous grower, the leaves are a palette of greens and whites that boast year-round beauty to any container. The double-white blossoms carry that famous rich fragrance from spring through summer. This is the best variegated cultivar we've grown to date, due to its vigor and freeness to flower.
A low spreading variety, somewhat of a miniature. Great for bonsai. Mature size 12" x 2' with petite leaves, green with white splashed edges. Two inch fragrant double white flowers from spring to fall. Acid loving, like sun to part shade and moist well drained. Fantastic foliage.
Creamy white is broadly splashed across the bluish-green foliage of this miniature growing dwarf Gardenia adding soft light to cool garden spaces. 2" highly fragrant, double white blooms are nearly lost among the variegation in summer. A hard to find selection of the popular Dwarf Gardenia.
