Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Not your typical Gardenia, Gold Doubloon produces intensely fragrant double white flowers that sit against rich golden yellow variegated foliage in early summer. Spring's new growth is chartreuse colored that gradually gives way to a deep golds and yellows in summer and fall. Moderately shade tolerant as well as relatively cold tolerant Gold Doubloon Gardenia also has a nice compact habit lending it to use in medium sized containers. These old garden favorites are still commonly referred to as Cape Jasmine or Cape Jessamine in many southern gardens but no matter what you call them the fragrance of a Gardenia is unforgettable.
