Thompson and Morgan Gardenia Jasminoides Crown Jewel Plant Pot 9cm 2 Pack

Gardenia Crown Jewel is an exquisite, exotic shrub, renowned for its abundant double white flowers that beautifully contrast with its glossy foliage. This hardy Gardenia variety can flourish outdoors year-round, either in a sheltered garden border or as a striking patio container plant. Prized for its captivating fragrance, Gardenia Crown Jewel provides structure to garden borders throughout the winter months before bursting into bloom in July, filling your garden with its alluring white flowers and intoxicating scent. For optimal growth, plant in fertile, well-drained acid to neutral soil, or use ericaceous compost for container planting. Choose a sheltered location with partial shade or dappled sunlight. To maintain soil acidity, water with rainwater whenever possible, avoiding tap water's lime content. During the growing season, regularly feed the plant with a balanced liquid fertiliser. Gardenia Crown Jewel requires only light pruning in spring to preserve its attractive shape. This particular hardy Gardenia benefits from extra protection during severe cold spells. In colder regions of the UK, consider planting in containers and moving them to a frost-free location over the winter. Your Gardenia will be delivered complete with growing and care instructions.
