The sweet fragrance of gardenias on a versatile, dwarf size shrub. Great in containers, raised beds and in the foreground of borders. Single flowers are star-like with five petals atop foliage spring and fall. Evergreen. Full to partial sun. Slow-growing to only 1 to 2 feet tall and wide. Easily kept under 12" in height. Single white flower is 1.5-2" across. A dense, bushy, branching habit with small to moderate sized, shiny green leaves make this a great choice for windowsill culture. Read more about gardenias.
