Mature Size: Reaches a mature height of 3–4 feet with a spread of 3–4 feet. Its compact, rounded shape makes it perfect for borders, hedges, or as a standalone focal point in your garden. The dense, evergreen foliage adds structure and visual interest year-round.

Watering & Sunlight

Watering: Gardenia Frost Proof prefers consistently moist, well-drained soil. It’s important to water deeply and regularly, especially during dry spells, but be careful not to let the soil become soggy. Allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings to prevent root rot. Regular watering ensures that it stays lush and healthy, particularly during the blooming season.

Sunlight: Prefers full sun to partial shade. For the best blooms and fragrance, plant Gardenia Frost Proof in a spot that gets at least 4–6 hours of direct sunlight daily. While it can tolerate some shade, more sunlight means more vibrant flowers and healthier growth. In warmer climates, some afternoon shade will protect the plant from extreme heat.
