Description

An exciting evergreen plant, Gardenia jasminoides 'Kleim's Hardy' is a dwarf cultivar with dark green, glossy leaves and fabulous, scented, creamy-white flowers in mid summer. The flowers are very pretty, are framed well against the dark green foliage and have a delightful, intense scent.

This is ideally suited for planting in a warm, flowering border or grown in a large container or pot, preferably near a well travelled area of the garden where the flowers fragrance can be best appreciated!
