Hardy Gardenia jasminoides Celestial Star

Description

Rarely available, this desirable Gardenia is covered in double, crisp white, scented blooms and glossy evergreen foliage.
The next generation of fully hardy Gardenias, and a big improvement on the older varieties, 'Celestial Star' is hardier and more vigorous and produces bigger flowers with better scent.
A beautifully compact shrub, Gardenia 'Celestial Star' is very easy to grow and care for and has a neat, compact habit which makes it perfect for small gardens. Simply plant it in a pot or a garden border, and it will happily grow and flourish outdoors all year round.
The scent of gardenias is often used in perfume, so place this dazzling shrub near doorways or paths so that you can enjoy its fragrance – just imagine sitting on your patio this summer surrounded by its intoxicatingly sweet perfume – heavenly!
Loved by bees this garden gem prefers slightly acidic soil in sun or part shade and is supplied as an established plant in a 9cm pot, reaching approx. 1.2m high and wide.
