Snow Puff Hardy Gardenia – 3 Gallon Pot

One of the most profuse blooming Gardenias in our gardens, ‘Snow Puff’ is a hardy selection that has demonstrated cold tolerance to 0 degrees F. Abundant and wonderfully fragrant semi-formal double petaled blooms come in late spring with a rebloom in summer. The blooms stand out remarkably well against a dense backdrop of deep green elongated leaves on a mounding shrub to 4 feet tall and wide, which makes it a good fit as an accent in smaller garden spaces or containers or in groupings or as a mid-size hedge in landscape borders, home foundation plantings or around outdoor living spaces where the fragrance and pretty flowers can be enjoyed from close up. The blooms are also great for cutting and display in your favorite vase.

 

Growing 3 to 4 feet tall and wide, the Snow Puff Gardenia is ideal for use as an accent, in groupings, or as a hedge in home foundation plantings and landscape borders. It’s smaller stature also makes it a nice selection for mid to large size containers. Because they like a break from the midday afternoon sun, and cold northwesterly winter winds, gardenias are best planted on the east side of the home or other structures. Needless to say gardenias are a fine addition for sensory gardens and near windows or outdoor living spaces where the sweet fragrance can be enjoyed.

Suggested Spacing:  3 to 3.5 feet apart for solid hedge;  7 feet or more apart for space between plants
