The Gardenia Jasminoides Standard is a stunning evergreen shrub trained as an elegant 'lollipop' standard, featuring glossy dark green leaves and intensely fragrant, pure white blooms. With an exceptionally long flowering season from spring through autumn, this compact beauty creates a sophisticated focal point in any garden or large container. Feed monthly during the growing season with an acid-loving plant fertilizer to maintain healthy foliage and encourage abundant flowering. Plant in semi-shade with well-draining, slightly acidic soil enriched with compost, and water regularly to keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Perfect for formal gardens, courtyards, or as striking container specimens on patios where their intoxicating fragrance can be fully appreciated.
