Overview: A gardenia grown for its large, extremely fragrant double white blooms.

Sun exposure: Partial shade to full sun; some afternoon shade helps prevent leaf scorch and bud drop

Flowering season: Late spring through summer

Hardiness: USDA Zones 7–9 (some cultivars hardier)

Water needs: Average; consistent moisture in rich, acidic, well-drained soil

Special features: Intensely fragrant, waxy white flowers over glossy, deep green evergreen foliage; shallow roots dislike root disturbance and competition, so avoid planting near tree roots; alkaline soil causes yellowing (chlorosis); orange fall fruit attracts birds

Wildlife value: Bees and other pollinators

Botanical name: Gardenia jasminoides 'August Beauty'
