One of the more cold hardy varieties, this attractive bush has glossy, leathery dark green foliage and an abundance of magnificently fragrant large white blooms. Has a more upright habit and more tolerant of direct sun light than other gardenias, with flower buds that resist late spring frosts without damage.
