Read detailed description :

Flowers are double, very fragrant and cream coloured, appearing between May and July with a possible repeat flowering at the end of summer. A compact and rustic inside Gardenia. Ideal in sheltered rock gardens, bordering terraces, or cultivated in containers to be put in cool verandas in winter. Leaves are a shiny and bright dark green. Appreciates a rich, fresh and well drained soil in a veiled sunny exposure. Avoid planting towards a clear Eastern exposure, as direct sun, in winter, may burn the plant during frosts.
