Gardenia Florida

Gardenia Florida is a timeless favourite, loved for its glossy deep-green foliage and luxuriously fragrant creamy-white flowers. Blooming through the warmer months, each rose-like flower fills the garden with a beautiful perfume that instantly evokes summer evenings. With its neat, compact growth habit, Gardenia Florida is perfect for garden beds, hedging, pots, courtyards, and entryways, where its scent can be fully enjoyed.

An evergreen shrub, it provides year-round structure and colour, making it just as attractive when not in flower. Whether planted on its own or en masse, Gardenia Florida adds elegance, fragrance, and classic charm to any garden.

Tip: Gardenias love acidic soil, feed regularly with a gardenia or azalea fertiliser to keep leaves lush and flowers abundant. Plant in morning sun with afternoon shade, keep soil evenly moist (not soggy), and mulch well to protect roots and retain moisture.
