{"product_id":"gardenia-professor-pucci-4","title":"Gardenia jasminoides - PROFESSOR PUCCI - Cape Jasmine","description":"\u003cp\u003eGardenia jasminoides 'Professor Pucci' is an evergreen shrub renowned for its large, double white flowers and glossy, dark green foliage. This cultivar blooms profusely from late spring to early summer (Kambarang to Birak), with potential for additional flowering in autumn (Djeran). Reaching a height and width of approximately 1.2 metres, 'Professor Pucci' is ideal for garden beds, hedges, or as a specimen plant. Its captivating fragrance and attractive appearance make it a standout addition to any garden.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Perth's climate, 'Professor Pucci' thrives in full sun to part shade, with some protection from the harsh afternoon sun during summer. Plant it in well-drained, acidic soil; incorporating an acidic mix or using a gardenia-specific potting mix is beneficial. Regular watering during warmer months is essential to maintain soil moisture, but ensure the soil is not waterlogged. Mulching can help retain moisture and regulate soil temperature. Feeding with a balanced, acidic fertiliser fortnightly during the growing season will promote healthy growth and abundant flowering. Prune lightly after the main flowering period to maintain shape and encourage new growth. Protect the plant from frost during cooler months.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable width=\"100%\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ctbody data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003eGardenia jasminoides\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003eCape Jasmine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCultivar\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003eProfessor Pucci\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClassification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003eGardenias\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePBR Name\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003eSouth-east Asia\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003eEvergreen\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003e1.2 M\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003e1.2 M\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003eFull sun to part shade.
