2) Gardenia jasminoides Chuck Hayes |
Hardy Gardenia |
Chuck Hayes Gardenia is proving to be probably the most hardy gardenia. With wonderfully fragrant white flowers and dark glossy green foliage, plant near a foundation and out of the wind where you can enjoy the fragrance! Gardenias, even hardy ones, are at their limits in the Delaware Valley so site them properly out of the wind and against a foundation if possible, help with pine needle or leaves as mulch for the first season.
