Gardenia DWARF RADICANS Miniature Live Plant Low Grower Fragrant White Flowers 4 Inch Starter Size Pot Emerald Tm

When it comes to the combination of beauty of fragrance, the Gardenia plant is usually at the top of most lists, and the Dwarf Gardenia or Gardenia radicans is one of the most popular and easiest to grow. It is a frequent choice for foundation plantings and mass plantings in light shade.

The growth habit is low (maturing at only 1 to 2 feet in height) and horizontal (spreading out about 2-3 ft) with small, densely growing, pointed, glossy green, leathery textured leaves.

Few plants are its equal for ease of care and rewarding beauty and fragrance. It is a profuse and reliable bloomer, producing an abundance of small 1-2 inch loosely doubled flowers from late Spring to early Summer, with scattered flowers throughout the year. Radicans is more tolerant of high summer heat than many others, but as a trade off is much less tolerant of cold.
