Gardenia Jasminoides ‘Magnifica’

What to use me for: I'm a versatile evergreen shrub frequently used for hedging or as a feature plant. My form is dense and bushy and I am suitable for; hedging, small gardens, feature plant or large pots.

I grow to: I'll reach up to 2 metres tall and 1.5 metres wide, providing a dense and compact design. Perfect for a feature hedge or small garden spaces to enjoy scented flower.

Features: I produce an attractive glossy green leaf with and heavily scented white flower in Spring to Summer.

Where to place me: Morning sun or part shade is ideal for me, I can thrive in a range of environments but like a some shade from full (Summer) sun position.

How far to space me: For tight hedging, plant me every 1-metre to ensure a cohesive and uniform look. I also perform well in large pots.

Soil Conditions: I prefer a well-drained, cool, moist and slightly acidic soil. I don't like constantly wet feet, so be sure to plant in well-drained position and use a thick layer of mulch.

Extra-Care: I like a long soak during extended heat periods. Prune for a tidy hedge. Lightly prune at the end of flowering for prolific flowering the following Spring. I prefer acid-loving fertiliser bi-annually in times of growth as per manufacturers instructions.
