Description
Gardenia jasminoides 'Grandiflora Star' is a compact and beautifully fragrant gardenia variety, perfect for small spaces. This evergreen shrub features glossy, deep green foliage and exquisite, pure white blooms that exude a delightful fragrance. Growing to a modest size of 30 - 60 cm in both height and width, it is well-suited for pots, garden beds, or as a low-growing hedge. Its flowering season begins in mid-spring (Kambarang) and continues through early summer (Birak), with a chance of additional blooms in autumn (Djeran).
Plant 'Grandiflora Star' in acidic, well-draining soil, incorporating an acidic mix before planting or using a gardenia potting mix for containers. Regular watering during warm weather will keep the plant healthy and promote abundant flowering. For the best results, place in a location with full sun to part shade, ensuring it is shaded during hot summer afternoons. Fertilise with products designed for acid-loving plants to support vibrant growth and prolonged flowering.
