Gardenias are Blooming!

Nothing says "Southern Landscape" better then Gardenias! The white blossoms against the lush green foliage and sweet aroma just screams "Southern Charm"!  We have gardenias here at Savannah's Secret Gardens and they are in bloom now!


Belmont Gardenia
(Gardenia jasminoides)

The Belmont Gardenia is a rare vintage.  An estate variety, it produces huge rose-like, creamy blooms.  Plant in full to partial sun.  It will bloom in early Spring, though, we often find flowers on it right through the fall.  It will grow to a height of 7'.


Frost Proof Gardenia

The Frost Proof Gardenia is a prolific bloomer.  The flowers are 2"-3" and  grows in a symmetrical upright form against narrow green foliage.  It blooms in late Spring to Fall.  Its a great hedge plant or a center piece for your flower bed.  It will grow up to 5' tall and 4' wide.  Plant this beauty in partial  to full sun.  This is a favorite among growers since  the flower buds can resist the late Spring frost.
