'Everblooming' forest gardenia (Gardenia jasminoides 'Everblooming') is a shrub for borders, specimen planting, hedges, and privacy screens. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to wet, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It grows at a moderate pace and forms a dense, evergreen shape. Fragrant flowers open in early to late spring and again in early to late summer. Deer rarely make it their first choice.
