Gardenia Jasminoides Pinwheel (‘Piiga-i’) | 9cm Pot

Intensely fragrant ivory-white flowers. Position: partial shade Soil: prefers moist, well-drained neutral to acidic soil or ericaceous compost if grown in a pot Flowering period: July to September Rate of growth: average Hardiness: frost hardy (may need winter protection) The intensely fragrant ivory-white flowers form throughout the summer on this bushy evergreen, which is noted not only for its pinwheel-like flowers, but for its hardier than average nature. It makes a wonderful addition to the patio, particularly if placed near a seating area, but can also be planted out in the border if you have a sheltered spot. Garden care: Keep it potted up if your garden receives hard frosts so it can easily be moved between a sunny patio during the summer and an unheated conservatory or greenhouse in winter. Feed with a balanced liquid feed once a month and water freely with soft water during the growing season, but keep the compost reasonably dry throughout winter. Topdress or pot on using ericaceous compost and lightly trim over-long shoots in mid to late spring.
