Miniature Gardenia is a dwarf spreading evergreen shrub noted for its thick, glossy dark green leaves and extremely fragrant petite white flowers. These flowers either bloom throughout the year if the temperature doesn’t dip below 60 degrees F or in late spring to early summer. Prefers partial sun and moist, well-drained acidic soils. Miniature Gardenia can be used as a groundcover.
