Gardenia ‘Double Diamond’

Description

Gardenia Jasminoides Double Diamond is a fantastic evergreen that has an upright, well-branched, vigorous growth. This variety is particularly noted for being very hardy, heat tolerant and easier to grow than many other Gardenia varieties. It produces very pretty, bright white, large double flowers that contrast beautifully against their canvas of dark green, glossy leaves. The flowers are best planted in patio containers or in sheltered borders next to a path or doorway, where their delightful fragrance can be best appreciated.

Plant the gardenias in moist, well-drained soil, preferably in compost for acid loving plants. Over spring and summer keep the compost moist, but not saturated. Over winter, when the plants are not growing, reduce the watering, without allowing the compost to dry out between watering. They prefer a sunny spot but can also be planted in part-shade. Provide sufficient high nitrogen liquid feed in the summer. Keep the plants in shape by light pruning as soon as flowering is ended.
