Gardenia ‘Crown Jewels’

Who’d have imagined you could grow a tough, hardy outdoor gardenia a few years ago? Large pearly white, waxy double blooms, contrasting dramatically against rich, glossy evergreen leaves. This hardy shrub will be a prized specimen from the moment it’s delivered to your door. And do not underestimate the fragrance, Gardenia ‘Crown Jewels’ has one of the strongest, most intoxicating scents that will fill patios, gardens and your home all summer long.
These thickly petaled, bowl shaped flowers will cover your shrub from July to September, whilst the attractive foliage with deep green leaves will remain all through the winter. Low maintenance and easy to grow in patio pots, beds and borders. Frost hardy though may need protecting in severe winters. Height: 60cm (24″). Spread: 120cm (47″).

Culinary note: Use these extremely fragrant blooms in jams and preserves or add to cakes for extra flavour. For more details about edible flowers click here.

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.
