The Jubilation Gardenia, brought to you by the Southern Living Plant Collection, breathes new life into a beloved southern classic. Celebrated for its intoxicatingly fragrant white blossoms, it graces late spring with its first bloom, then delights again with re-blooms from summer through fall. This evergreen maintains a neat, compact size of 3-4 ft. in both height and width, making it an ideal choice for smaller spaces. Its versatility shines as it can serve beautifully as a low-maintenance hedge, a standout accent, in mass plantings, or as a container feature. For optimal bloom and foliage, position it in full sun to partial shade, remembering that too little light can diminish its show. The Jubilation Gardenia thrives in rich, well-drained soil and is resilient in USDA Zones 7-10. Ensure a strong start with watering 3-4 times a week during its initial growing season and boost its spring awakening with acidic plant fertilizer. Embrace the charm and fragrance of the Jubilation Gardenia for a touch of southern elegance in your garden.
