Back to buying optionsFrost Proof Gardenia – Live Cape Jasmine Plant – Fragrant White Flowers – Evergreen Shrub – 1 Quart
Add timeless beauty and a lovely fragrance to your garden with Frost Proof Gardenia (Gardenia jasminoides ‘Frost Proof’)! This hardy gardenia variety is known for its glossy evergreen foliage, fragrant white flowers, and ability to tolerate colder conditions better than many traditional gardenias. Its bushy, well-branched growth makes it an excellent choice for garden beds, foundation plantings, borders, and fragrant hedges. This plant can grow in full sun to partial shade and produces beautiful white blooms beginning in late spring. Each plant is grown in a 1-quart nursery pot and ships in a fabric grow bag rather than its original plastic pot. Flowering is not guaranteed at the time of shipping, and plants may arrive dormant during cooler months.

✔️ 1 live Frost Proof Gardenia plant
✔️ Plant grown in a 1-quart nursery pot before shipping
✔️ Shipped in a fabric grow bag
✔️ Grow bag slightly larger than the root ball
✔️ A young evergreen shrub ready to establish in your garden

💡 Care Tip:
Plant your Frost Proof Gardenia in well-draining, slightly acidic soil and provide full sun to partial shade. Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, especially during hot weather, but avoid waterlogged conditions. Apply an acid-loving plant fertilizer during the growing season to support healthy foliage and fragrant blooms. Protect young plants during extreme cold, and remember that plants may naturally lose some fullness or arrive dormant depending on the season.
