Frost Proof Gardenia 1 Live Shrub – Gardenia jasminoides ‘Frostproof’ – Quart Pot

Frost Proof Gardenia (Gardenia jasminoides ‘Frostproof’) is an evergreen flowering shrub prized for its highly fragrant white blossoms and glossy, deep-green foliage. Its elegant flowers emerge white and may gradually develop creamy tones as they age, creating a beautiful contrast against the dark leaves. This cultivar is known for improved cold tolerance compared with many traditional gardenias.

The plant develops a dense, upright to rounded growth habit with attractive evergreen foliage that provides year-round ornamental interest in suitable climates. Its fragrant flowers typically appear from late spring into summer, with flowering times varying by climate. Frost Proof Gardenia is suitable for foundation plantings, mixed shrub borders, fragrant gardens, entryway landscapes, and outdoor containers.

This listing includes one live Frost Proof Gardenia in a quart nursery pot. It performs best in full sun to partial shade, with afternoon shade beneficial in hot climates. Gardenias prefer acidic, organically rich, well-drained soil and consistent moisture without prolonged waterlogging.
