Gardenia augusta

Common Gardenia

Gardenia augusta is a beautiful, evergreen shrub that produces masses of exquisite, intensely fragrant, double, white blooms from spring through autumn. The flowers contrast perfectly with the glossy, dark green foliage. It typically grows to 1 m tall and the same wide, growing best in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained site. Gardenia augusta is commonly mass planted but is also effective for planting around outdoor living areas, adding to a mixed planting, maintaining in a container, or for including in a tropical or “white” garden.
