Description
Gardenia jasminoides 'Golden Magic' is a charming and compact shrub that adds a unique twist to traditional gardenias. Its glossy, evergreen foliage is paired with stunning, sweetly fragrant blooms that open pure white and gradually transition to a golden yellow as they age, creating a delightful multi-coloured display. Growing to a manageable 60 - 90 cm in height and width, 'Golden Magic' is perfect for pots, garden beds, or as a low hedge in sunny to partially shaded spots. Its long flowering season spans mid-spring (Kambarang) to early summer (Birak), with the possibility of additional blooms in autumn (Djeran).
Plant in well-draining, acidic soil, incorporating an acidic blend at planting or using specialised gardenia potting mix for container growth. Regular watering during warm weather is essential to encourage vibrant blooms and maintain overall health. Fertilise with products designed for acid-loving plants to support lush growth and extended flowering. 'Golden Magic' is an excellent choice for those seeking both elegance and a subtle colour transformation in their garden.
