Super-hardy Dwarf!
Gardenia Kleim's Hardy
No more than 2 to 3 feet high and wide!
So wonderfully fragrant!
Here is the Gardenia you've been looking for: so compact you can grow it in containers, so cold-hardy you can grow it outdoors in zone 7, and so fragrant you'll think you've died and gone to heaven!
Kleim's Hardy is a petite shrub just 2 to 3 feet high and wide, very well-branched and densely clothed in glossy evergreen dark green leaves. The blooms are pure white, single and 6-petaled, and their scent is absolutely unforgettable. You may find yourself recalling your high school prom, long-ago weddings, and other celebrations -- Gardenias are so evocative of the past, and none more strongly than Kleim's Hardy!
Slow-growing, this shrub forms a little mound with the impact of a much larger plant! Expect the blooms in late spring and early summer, and get ready to be wowed! Zones 7-11.
