Notes
'Miami Supreme' forest gardenia (Gardenia jasminoides 'Miami Supreme') is an evergreen shrub for borders, specimens, hedges, and privacy screens. It is hardy to USDA zone 8, or down to 10°F (-12°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to wet, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It grows about 71 inches tall and wide with a dense habit. The fragrant blooms open in spring and again in summer, and bees visit them. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal.
Pairs well with Southern magnolia, Calla lily, and Lemongrass.
