    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    The intoxicatingly fragrant, pure-white, double flowers really stand out against the lush dark green foliage on this 2-4' evergreen shrub. An excellent shrub for accent or container, in fact in a container it can be brought indoors for the winter. Be sure to situate this plant where you will be able to take in the delicious fragrance! This cultivar is hardier than other Gardenias, thanks to 10 years of work by Doug Torn. S-PSh/M PP22797

    Gorgeous gardenia selected by Buds & Blooms nursery for its stunning, double white, highly fragrant flowers, nestled on short stems amongst the glossy green leaves in early summer. Extra cold hardiness, to at least -10 °F, USDA zone 6 with reports in zone 5. We have not tried it at those temperatures and hopefully we never will but we would be happy to hear from anyone who does. Shrubs reach 4-5 ft tall and wide in part sun to full shade with consistent summer moisture to establish and through the growing season. Fertilizer and iron after blooming helps maintain foliage. Here's to gardenias in colder areas. Worth growing in container in even colder zones.

    Summer Snow® is the latest entry among the new cold-hardy gardenias, with beautiful, pure white, waxy, double flowers and a heady, sweet fragrance. With over 10 years of development and testing, Summer Snow®; was selected as a gardenia with a greater tolerance for cold climates, as low as Zone 6. Spring planting is recommended. (Although the "hardy" gardenias are being promoted as cold-hardy to Zone 6, the jury is still out until we have more experience with them in our climate.)
