Product Information
We do our best to ensure product descriptions, specifications, care information and other details are accurate and up to date. Information is provided as a general guide and may vary between batches, suppliers, individual plants or product revisions.

Stock availability
Website stock levels update live from our inventory system, but occasional discrepancies can occur due to in-store sales, damage or stock adjustments. This is more likely when only 1 or 2 units are showing as available.

Product images
Images are provided as a visual guide and may not show the exact individual item for sale. Plants can naturally vary in size, fullness, colour, shape and stage of growth, and images may show a mature specimen to demonstrate how a younger plant may develop.

Images are either owned by Kambarang Garden Centre, used under an appropriate licence or with permission, or created with AI assistance. AI imagery is used to improve the background of existing photos, and to provide representative images where a suitable real-world photo is difficult or impractical to obtain, particularly for mature plants. Special care is taken to preserve the genuine appearance, colour, form, foliage, flowers and growth habit as accurately as current AI image technology allows.

Plant sizing
Plant sizes refer to the pot size, not the exact size of the plant. For example:

  • 100 mm = 10 cm diameter pot
  • 140 mm = 14 cm diameter pot
  • 5 L = 5 litre pot

Smaller pot sizes generally indicate younger plants, although actual plant size can vary significantly between species, varieties and growth habits.

Description

Gardenia jasminoides 'Super Star' is a compact, evergreen shrub renowned for its glossy green leaves and highly fragrant, pinwheel-shaped white flowers. This hardy plant is well-suited to Perth's climate and is ideal for mass planting, low hedges, and borders in gardens and parks. Its manageable size makes it perfect for both garden beds and pots, allowing for versatile placement throughout your landscape.

To ensure optimal growth, plant 'Super Star' in full sun to part shade, providing some protection from the intense summer sun. It thrives in well-drained, acidic soil; incorporating an acidic mix into the soil before planting or using a gardenia-specific potting mix for container growth is recommended. Regular watering during the warmer months is essential to maintain soil moisture, but be cautious to avoid waterlogging. Applying a balanced, slow-release fertiliser in early spring (Djilba) will promote healthy growth and abundant flowering. Pruning after the main flowering period helps maintain its shape and encourages new growth. Mulching around the base can assist in retaining soil moisture and regulating temperature.
