Gardenia - Diamond Spire

Garden Spire Gardenia is a unique, upright columnar variety of gardenia that brings the classic beauty and fragrance of gardenia blooms to smaller or vertical spaces. It features glossy evergreen foliage and is adorned in late spring through summer with large, white, powerfully fragrant blooms. 

Its narrow, vertical growth habit makes it ideal for containers, small entryways, tight borders, or formal plantings where space is limited. As a bonus, the sweetly scented flowers attract pollinators and fill the air with a luxurious perfume.
