Summer Snow Gardenia 1 Live Shrub – Gardenia jasminoides ‘Summer Snow’ – 1 Gallon Pot

Summer Snow Gardenia (Gardenia jasminoides ‘Summer Snow’) is a broadleaf evergreen flowering shrub admired for its intensely fragrant, double white flowers and large, glossy, dark-green leaves. The pure white blossoms appear from late spring through summer, creating an elegant floral display against the plant's lustrous foliage.

This gardenia selection is recognized for its improved cold tolerance compared with many traditional gardenias. Its dense, bushy growth habit makes it suitable for foundation plantings, fragrant gardens, mixed shrub borders, entryway landscapes, and outdoor containers. The evergreen foliage provides ornamental interest beyond the flowering season in climates where the plant remains hardy.

This listing includes one live Summer Snow Gardenia in a 1 gallon nursery pot. It performs best in full sun to partial shade and prefers acidic, organically rich, well-drained soil. Once established, it can tolerate some periods of dry weather, although consistent moisture supports healthy growth and flowering.
