Garden Goods Direct | Kleim’s Hardy Gardenia

Kleim’s Hardy Gardenia or “Cape Jasmine” are most valued for their resistance to cold climates. Their small evergreen shrub structure blooms thick dark green leaves and fragrant flowers shaped like little stars. When planted in the proper grow zones, the semi-dwarf gardenias grow 2 to 3 feet tall and wide, lasting decades long. Thriving best in full sun and acidic soil, you won’t have too much trouble watching your gardenia jasminoides bloom beautiful white flowers; you should watch out for spider mites, a commonly occurring problem found with these plants. The most popular place Kleim’s Hardy is planted is near entryways, patios, and in the foreground of garden borders. Placing them in well-drained soils will allow you to plant them anywhere virtually; they can even handle partially shaded landscaping. We recommend you plant them near heavy foot traffic areas so your guests can enjoy their fragrance every time they step foot in your beautiful garden.
