Four Seasons

Double, creamy white blooms with an exotic heady fragrance sit beautifully against the glossy green foliage of this desirable little shrub. Flowers for a long period.

Fragrant Star

aka Cape Jasmine A striking Gardenia with glossy green foliage and single creamy white blooms with a prominent yellow and scarlet eye. Plant in a semi-shaded, frost free position where you can make the most of the sensuous perfume. Keep trimmed to around 1m tall to encourage flowering. Evergreen Gardenias are gross feeders - meaning that like me they like lots of tucker. Regular liquid feeding will keep them healthy and happy or side dress with slow release fertilizer. Flower colour: White / Yellow. Habit: Shrub. Leaves: Evergreen, Green.

Golden Magic

Golden Magic is a gardenia jasminoides cultivar. Fragrant pure-white perfectly formed long-lasting 3″ Gardenia flowers soon fade to creamy yellow and finally to golden yellow creating a magical effect that contrasts nicely with the glossy dark green glossy foliage of this evergreen shrub.
