Description How to Grow More Info Delivery

With even larger flowers than other varieties, Gardenia ‘Sweetheart’ offers even more of that unmistakable and intoxicating perfume!

Gardenias have an incredibly long flowering season, and ‘Sweetheart’ will reward you with a succession of waxy white flowers from summer to autumn. The blooms sparkle against the perfect backdrop – a forest of dark green, lustrous foliage that forms a pleasing mound. In mild areas, this hardy variety can be grown in a sheltered position outdoors all year. It is perfect for patio pots, or planting in sheltered, lime-free borders close to a seating area, where its perfume and beauty can be fully appreciated. Otherwise, enjoy it on a windowsill in indirect light and allow its heavenly perfume to drift through the house then move it outdoors for the warmer months. Height: 90cm (35in). Spread: 120cm (47in).

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.

Plant Gardenia in sheltered borders or containers in any well drained, rich fertile, neutral to acid soil. Choose a sheltered position in dappled or semi shade. Water regularly until Gardenia plants are fully established. Where possible, use rainwater as the lime contained in tap water will reduce the soils acidity over time.

Feed hardy Gardenia plants regularly throughout the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer. Whilst this variety of Gardenia is hardy, it will appreciate some winter protection during particularly cold periods. In very cold climates, container-grown plants may be moved to a cool, frost-free position for the winter. In spring, lightly prune stems to maintain their shape.
