Know before you buy
The 'Frostproof' cultivar is specifically bred to be more resilient to late spring frosts than traditional gardenias. While it offers improved cold hardiness, it still thrives best in temperate climates and should be protected if temperatures drop significantly below freezing.
This Gardenia prefers partial sun, meaning it does best with morning sunlight and afternoon shade. Too much intense, direct afternoon sun can scorch the leaves, while too little light may result in fewer blooms.
Yes, the White Frostproof Gardenia is an evergreen shrub. You can expect it to maintain its lush, deep green foliage throughout the year, providing structure to your garden even when it is not in its summer blooming season.
While it arrives in a 1-gallon container, this shrub can eventually reach a mature height and width of about 3 to 5 feet. Its compact, upright growth habit makes it a versatile choice for borders, foundation plantings, or as a standalone specimen.
Yes, this variety is highly prized for its classic, sweet, and heady fragrance. The white blooms are just as aromatic as traditional gardenias, making them an excellent choice for planting near windows, patios, or walkways where you can enjoy the scent.
