The easiest to grow Gardenia
Gardenia (Kailarsenia) vietnamensis
by Onika Amell, tropical plant expert
One of the easiest and hardiest Gardenias in our collection is the Vietnamese Gardenia. This plant is much easier to grow than many other Gardenias. It can handle overly moist soils much better, is quite drought tolerant once established and has a high resistance to the typical Gardenia woes. It is hands down also the most cold hardy Gardenia in our collection!
