Summer Snow Gardenia® (Gardenia jasminoides) is an evergreen flowering shrub featuring large, double, pure white blooms with a sweet fragrance. It has dense, dark green foliage that provides year-round interest and an elegant floral display throughout the growing season. This shrub has a symmetrical growth habit, making it ideal for foundation plantings, borders, specimen plantings, and landscape beds.

This hardy gardenia thrives in neutral to acidic, well-drained soils and benefits from fertile growing conditions. Once established, it shows good drought tolerance and adapts well to full sun or partial shade environments. The heavily textured foliage and fragrant flowers make it a popular choice for ornamental gardens and outdoor living spaces.
