{"product_id":"frost-proof-gardenia","title":"Frost Proof Gardenia","description":"\u003ch2\u003eA gardenia that brings fragrance and confidence to the landscape\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrost Proof Gardenia is a favorite for homeowners who want the rich perfume and elegant white blooms of a classic gardenia, but with a little more peace of mind in cooler conditions. It offers the glossy evergreen foliage and refined look people love, while its buds are known for holding up better against late spring frosts than many standard gardenias. That makes it an especially appealing option for gardeners who want reliable beauty in areas where the weather can be unpredictable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFragrant white blooms make it a standout near outdoor living spaces\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flowers are everything most homeowners hope for in a gardenia. Frostproof Gardenia produces large, creamy white blooms with the rich, unmistakable fragrance that makes gardenias such a treasured part of the Southern landscape. Planted near a porch, patio, front walk, or entry garden, it adds a luxurious scent experience that turns everyday spaces into something more memorable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGlossy evergreen foliage gives year-round structure\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven when it is not in bloom, Frostproof Gardenia earns its place with dense, lustrous dark green foliage that keeps the landscape looking polished through every season. That evergreen structure helps foundation beds, mixed shrub borders, and fragrance gardens maintain a finished appearance long after flowering has passed. It is one of those shrubs that contributes even when the flowers are not the headline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eExcellent for hedges, foundations, and fragrance gardens\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis variety is especially useful in foundation plantings, evergreen borders, and low flowering hedges where homeowners want both structure and scent. Its more upright habit also makes it easy to work into formal or semi-formal designs, and it looks right at home near seating areas where the fragrance can be appreciated up close. It can also be grown in containers where drainage, soil acidity, and winter protection are well managed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCold hardy for a gardenia, but still best with thoughtful siting\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrostproof Gardenia is considered more cold hardy than many gardenia varieties and is widely sold for Zone 7 landscapes, but it is still a gardenia and benefits from protection from harsh winter wind and poorly drained soil. It performs best in acidic, organic-rich, well-drained soil with consistent moisture during establishment. Deer resistance is often listed for this variety, but, like most gardenias, it is best described as relatively deer-resistant rather than completely deer-proof.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garden Goods Direct","offers":[{"title":"3 Gallon Pot","offer_id":53108749926698,"sku":"jiq1792722064655","price":55.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/3012\/0234\/files\/frost-proof-gardenia_1.jpg?v=1792722073","url":"https:\/\/benwarmbazaar.shop\/products\/frost-proof-gardenia","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
