ScentAmazing Gardenia, Gardenia jasminoides ‘Leetwo’, is a compact evergreen shrub prized for its incredibly fragrant blooms that appear from spring through fall. Each single white flower features a soft yellow center, filling the garden with a sweet fragrance over an extended blooming season. Its dense growth habit and glossy green foliage make this gardenia a standout choice for containers, informal hedges, accents, or mass plantings.
ScentAmazing Gardenia Care
Plant ScentAmazing Gardenia in well-drained, slightly acidic soil that is kept consistently moist. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature. In colder zones, provide winter protection by mulching heavily and planting in a sheltered location. Prune in late winter or early spring to remove any winter-damaged stems and to shape the shrub.
Fertilize in early spring with a balanced, acid-forming fertilizer to encourage lush growth and abundant blooms.
ScentAmazing Gardenia Spacing
For borders, accents, or foundation plantings, space gardenias 3 to 4 feet apart, center to center. For mass plantings or hedges, allow 4 to 5 feet between shrubs to give them room to spread.
