ScentAmazing® Gardenia
Months of that unmistakable creamy-white gardenia perfume, on a tidy 2-to-3-foot shrub that blooms from spring all the way to fall.
The ScentAmazing® Gardenia (Gardenia jasminoides 'LEETWO') is a compact, rounded evergreen prized for one thing above all: fragrance. Its pure-white, rose-like double blooms open against glossy, deep-green foliage and release the rich, sweet scent gardenias are loved for. Unlike older varieties that flower for only a few short weeks, this selection reblooms heavily from spring into fall, so the perfume keeps coming through the warm months. At a mature 2 to 3 feet tall and wide, it stays naturally neat with little shaping, making it one of the most usable fragrant shrubs for smaller modern landscapes.
Why growers choose the ScentAmazing® Gardenia
- A long bloom season, not a brief flush. Flowers appear spring to fall, giving you repeat waves of bloom rather than one quick show.
- Powerful, true gardenia fragrance. The creamy double blooms carry the classic sweet perfume, strong enough to scent a patio, doorway, or open window.
- Glossy evergreen foliage year-round. Lustrous dark-green leaves hold through winter in zones 7-10, keeping the plant attractive even out of bloom.
- Compact, well-behaved habit. Topping out around 2 to 3 feet, it fits foundations, borders, and containers without constant pruning.
- Cut-flower quality blooms. Single flowers floated in a bowl or tucked into an arrangement perfume an entire room.
Plant it where you will brush past the scent every day: along a walkway or entry, beneath a window, at the corner of a patio, or massed as a low fragrant hedge. It is equally at home in a large container on a porch or worked into a mixed shade-edge border where its glossy leaves set off perennials. Wherever it goes, it earns its place by smell alone.
