Description

Veitchii Gardenia is a classic, highly prolific cultivar cherished for its long season of intensely fragrant, double white flowers. Its compact, rounded form is covered in glossy, dark green leaves, providing a perfect backdrop for the blooms. It flowers heavily in late spring to early summer and often repeats reliably throughout the summer and into fall, making it one of the longest-blooming gardenias. A bit more adaptable than some, it’s a favorite for foundation plantings, fragrant hedges, and containers.

• Long Blooming & Fragrant: A champion bloomer, producing masses of intensely fragrant, double white flowers from late spring through fall.

• Compact, Rounded Habit: Forms a neat, dense mound of glossy foliage, reaching 3-4 feet tall and 4-6 feet wide, ideal for smaller spaces.

• Classic Gardenia Scent: The flowers emit the quintessential, heavy, sweet gardenia fragrance.

• Adaptable & Reliable: Considered one of the more reliable and easier-to-grow gardenia cultivars, though it still prefers acidic soil and consistent moisture.

• Versatile for Gardens & Containers: Excellent for planting near patios, walkways, or in containers where its fragrance can be enjoyed up close.
