National Plant Network's grower approved selections take the guesswork out of gardening. Kleim's Hardy gardenia is a unique and reliable evergreen shrub that provides a sophisticated, year-round layer of color and fragrance to your landscape. Its compact, mounding shape features glossy dark green foliage accented by heavily scented, single daisy-like white flowers with glowing golden centers that bloom from late spring into summer. This elegant evergreen shrub is incredibly easy to grow, thriving in various well-drained soil types and showing excellent resilience to both summer heat and winter cold once established. Potted shrubs arrive ready to plant and acclimate quickly in well prepared soil. Plant in a sunny to partially shaded location with good drainage and water deeply 2-3 times a week to promote robust root growth. Its compact footprint also makes it ideal for patio containers that can be easily moved and overwintered indoors in colder climates. Once established, this versatile shrub will return year after year, serving as the perfect low maintenance fragrant border, pathway accent, or container focal point.
