Blooms When Others Don't

Why Frost Proof Gardenia Shrubs?

With the Frost Proof Gardenia shrub, you'll never miss a Gardenia season because of late cold snaps. Ordinary Gardenia buds can freeze and never develop into flowers...meaning that you get a skimpy showing or no blooms at all.

Despite chilly weather, Frost Proof Gardenias are smothered with amazingly fragrant blooms every year. Unlike other varieties, they stand up to the cold and unusual weather patterns. From the midwest to Key West, Frost Proof Gardenias pump out blooms that fill your yard with that distinctive Gardenia aroma.

And they're deer resistant too. This trouble-free shrub's green foliage makes it versatile enough to be a foundation hedge, property barrier or the focal point of a berm.

My blooms die soon after they bloom.

My Gardenia bush came healthy and green with one bloom. I planted it within the first hour and watered. After planting I got 2 more blooms but all 3 blooms did not last but a few days and they dried up. I removed them from the bush and have been waiting for more blooms but nine yet. Bush still healthy and green.

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHi Beverly! We appreciate the update and are happy to hear your Gardenia is healthy and green. It’s not unusual for new blooms to fade quickly after planting, as the plant is adjusting to its new home. With continued care, you should see more blooms soon. Let us know if you’d like any tips or if we can help in any way.

very small

I ordered about 7 of the 1 gallon gardina and did write a review that the plants were much smaller than expected. I attached a photo to my review which the host did not post so here it is again. I did receive a refund for the 6 inch gardina which dies about a month later. I will never again by plants based on the dirt pot volume and will have to see them first.
