A wonderful flowering evergreen hedge or foundation plant with lustrous, dark green foliage and large, fragrant, white flowers that measure two to three inches wide. A more upright habit and more tolerant of direct sun exposure than other gardenias, with flower buds that resist late spring frosts without damage, giving it its name. Very deer-resistant.
Exposure/Soil:
Full sun to moderate shade and soil that drains well. Doesn't like "wet feet".
Growth:
Grows to 3-4 ft high. Blooms in May- June and again in October.
