PLANT PROFILE

Gardenia augusta ‘Magnifica’ is a compact evergreen shrub prized for its fragrant, white flowers and glossy foliage. Its leaves are dark green, broad, and leathery, providing a lush backdrop to the highly perfumed blooms. From late spring through summer, it produces large, creamy-white double flowers up to 10 cm across, filling the garden with fragrance. Mature plants typically reach 1.5–2 metres in height and 1–1.5 metres in width with a dense, rounded habit.

This variety has a moderate growth rate and thrives in warm, frost-free to light-frost areas. It prefers full sun to part shade and requires a humus-rich, slightly acidic soil that is well drained. Gardenia augusta ‘Magnifica’ is evergreen, frost tender when young, and benefits from regular feeding and watering during the growing season. Maintenance is moderate, with light pruning after flowering helping to maintain shape.

They look excellent when planted near entrances, pathways, or courtyards where their perfume can be appreciated. They are also effective as hedging, in containers, or as feature shrubs in mixed plantings.
