Jubilation™ Gardenia

Gardenia jasminoides ‘Leeone’

Compact, fragrant, and easy to grow, Jubilation™ Gardenia is prized for its rich green evergreen foliage and highly fragrant white blooms that appear from late spring through summer. The double flowers release the classic gardenia perfume and stand out beautifully against the glossy foliage. With its naturally rounded habit and improved cold hardiness, this variety is perfect for foundation plantings, borders, containers, and entryways where its fragrance can be enjoyed up close.

Heat-tolerant and low-maintenance, Jubilation™ Gardenia offers reliable blooming and year-round structure in southern landscapes while staying smaller and tidier than traditional gardenia varieties.
