- Deep green glossy foliage and showy double blooms
- Waxy creamy-white scented flowers open in July
- Requires low maintenance
Gardenia Crown Jewel is an exquisite, exotic shrub, celebrated for its abundance of double white flowers set against glossy foliage. This hardy Gardenia variety can flourish outdoors year-round in a sheltered garden border or as a container plant on the patio. Prized for its intoxicating fragrance, Gardenia Crown Jewel brings structure to garden borders during the winter months, before bursting into bloom in July, filling the garden with its heady perfume and exotic white blooms.
For optimal growth, plant in fertile, well-drained acid to neutral soil, or use ericaceous compost when planting in containers. Choose a sheltered location with partial shade or dappled sunlight. Whenever possible, use rainwater for watering to avoid tap water's lime content reducing soil acidity. During the growing season, regularly feed the plant with a balanced liquid fertiliser. Gardenia Crown Jewel requires only light pruning in spring to maintain its attractive form.
This particular hardy Gardenia benefits from extra protection during particularly cold periods. In colder regions of the UK, consider planting in containers so the plant can be easily moved to a frost-free location over the winter. Your Gardenia Crown Jewel will be delivered with comprehensive growing and care instructions.

Images may also depict the plant at different stages of its seasonal cycle (e.g., deciduous plants lose their leaves in colder months).
