PLANT PROFILE
Gardenia jasminoides ‘Florida’, commonly known as the Florida Gardenia, is a compact, evergreen shrub loved for its glossy green foliage and beautifully fragrant white flowers. The blooms are full and creamy-white, appearing from late spring through summer and perfuming the air with their sweet scent. The dense, rounded habit and vibrant foliage make it a favourite for formal and tropical gardens alike. Mature plants typically reach 1–1.5 metres tall and 1–1.5 metres wide, creating an attractive, tidy shrub.
This variety performs best in full sun to part shade and prefers rich, well-drained, slightly acidic soils. Gardenia ‘Florida’ is frost tolerant once established but benefits from protection in colder regions. It requires regular watering during the growing season and light pruning after flowering to maintain its compact form. With the right conditions, it provides a lush, green backdrop and months of fragrant blooms.
They look excellent as feature shrubs near entrances and pathways, planted in groups for hedging, or grown in decorative pots for patios and courtyards. The Florida Gardenia’s combination of fragrance, foliage, and form makes it an essential addition to classic, tropical, or formal landscapes.
