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.

Very Happy

Couldn’t be happier. They’ve been in the ground around 3 months now and are thriving. Already had blooms this spring.

Smell amazing!

As soon as I opened the box I got a big hit of that amazing fragrance. There are several flowers already on it, and some that are through the blooming process. The pot appeared to be securely fastened, and the box was undamaged, but the pot is super squashed, and I'm hopeful there wasn't damage to the plant/root system. It was sealed up well and still had moisture in the bag, which is great. One of the leaves has some pest damage, but that's probably being pretty nit-picky. Looking forward to getting it in the ground and it taking off

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertWe're so thrilled your Frost Proof Gardenia greeted you with that amazing fragrance right out of the box, Angela! Several flowers already blooming is wonderful. We're sorry about the squashed pot and the pest damage on one leaf and will share that with our carrier. We're glad the moisture was retained and the packaging protected it well. Once it's in the ground it's going to take off beautifully. Those gorgeous fragrant blooms are going to be so rewarding. We're always here if you need any help!

Gardenia Bushes

The flowers actually stayed protected during shipment and now they are planted in our yard and the deer are not even bothering them. They smell beautiful to us but not to the deer. Win/win

I received the Gardenia plant

I received the Gardenia plant in May. I couldn’t plant it outside as it was still cold in the morning in late May. I finally planted it a week back and it’s already blooming! Plant looks very healthy - I had 5 flowers today- keeping fingers crossed that it survives the winter in zone 6b
