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.

Nice but small

Root ball was damaged in transportation. However, with immediate planting it has proved not to cause any harm. The size was small for a 1 gallon container but the foliage was well balanced and full with numerous flower buds.

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHello Kim! Thanks for letting us know about the condition of your plant. Shipping can sometimes be tough on root balls, but your quick action with planting sounds like it made all the difference. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need any support or tips.

Fingers crossed.

So far, so good. Holding its buds and first flower open. Keeping my fingers crossed because I don’t have much luck with gardenias

Looking good!

So far so good. In the ground and blooming. Bought three. One has bloomed first. Other two have buds and will be next. Arrived in good condition and easy to plant.

So pretty

Because of all the rain we have gotten, they have bloomed quickly. Can't wait for them to grow. By next year, I expect them to be pretty full with many blooms.

We shall see…

I’m not really sure what to think of these bushes. Last year I bought 4 and only two survived the winter, we live in west Tennessee. They were doing good but for some reason two died. So I bought more to try again this year, hopefully they do better.

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHello Stephanie, we understand how frustrating it can be when plants don’t make it through the winter. West Tennessee can be challenging, but we’re hopeful these new bushes will do better for you. If you have any questions or want advice on helping them thrive, just let us know!
