Gardenia Scabrella

Gardenia Scabrella

This beautiful rounded shrub 1.5m X 1.5m bears large white flowers in spring & summer, and sometimes at other times during the year – contrastng nicely against the dark green glossy foliage. Originating in North Qld and NT, this attractive shrub enjoys a sheltered warm spot in the garden, can tolerate sun or semi-shade, responds well to pruning after flowering, mulching, fertiliser in high growth periods and water during the drier months. Hardy in most soil types, but a deep, loamy well drained soil is preferrable.
