The Jubilation Gardenia, part of the Southern Living Plant Collection, is a fresh take on a beloved southern staple. Celebrated for its intoxicatingly fragrant, white flowers that first appear in late spring and make encore appearances from summer through fall, this gardenia variety brings timeless elegance and fragrance to any garden. Its evergreen nature and compact growth habit, reaching only 3 to 4 feet in height and spreading up to 3 feet in width, make it an ideal choice for those with limited space or seeking a plant that maintains its beauty and form throughout the year. This gardenia is well-suited for a variety of uses, including as a low-maintenance hedge, a striking accent piece, within mass plantings, or as a charming container plant. For optimal blooming and foliage, planting in full sun to partial shade is recommended, though it's important to note that insufficient sunlight may lead to fewer flowers and less lush foliage. The Jubilation Gardenia thrives in rich, well-draining soil and shows best results when watered 3-4 times per week during its first year, establishing a deep and healthy root system. A dose of acidic plant fertilizer in early spring will encourage vigorous growth and abundant blooms. Hardy in USDA Zones 7 to 10, the Jubilation Gardenia is a robust plant that can withstand a variety of climates, making it a versatile addition to gardens across a wide swath of the country. Whether you're looking to add fragrance, beauty, or evergreen structure to your outdoor space, the Jubilation Gardenia is a standout choice that promises to delight the senses year after year.
