Description
Gardenia jasminoides 'Four Seasons' is a compact and delightful shrub prized for its glossy evergreen foliage and fragrant, pure white blooms. This versatile variety reaches a mature size of approximately 1 M in height and width, making it an excellent choice for smaller gardens, patio pots, or as a feature plant. True to its name, 'Four Seasons' flowers profusely from mid-spring (Kambarang) to early summer (Birak), with the possibility of additional blooms in autumn (Djeran).
Plant in full sun to part shade, ensuring adequate summer shade in Perth's hot climate. It thrives in acidic soils, so incorporate an acidic mix into the ground or choose a specialised gardenia potting mix for containers. Maintain regular watering during warm weather, and fertilise with products designed for acid-loving plants to support its abundant flowering. Perfect for bringing a touch of elegance and a sweet fragrance to any outdoor or indoor space.
