If you are lucky enough to live in a place where Gardenias grow in your landscape, then you absolutely MUST plant the newest Gardenia on the market! Introducing the First Editions® Double Mint Gardenia bush PP#23,507 (Gardenia jasminoides 'Double Mint')!

So what's so different about this Gardenia? The Double Mint Gardenia has double the petals, double the flowers, double the bloom time, AND double that intoxicating fragrance you grow Gardenias for in the first place!

The double flowers are a whopping 2 inches across on strong stems, perfect for small bouquets and even boutonnieres should you want to take the fragrance with you! The flowers bloom profusely in the spring and re-bloom again in the summer, continuing sporadically until fall! Longer than many other Gardenia varieties!

Landscape Application:

Growing just 3 feet high and wide, Double Mint packs all that beauty and amazement into a compact, easy-to-include in your garden size! Smaller modern lots and urban courtyards in the sun can benefit from these glossy space-saving evergreens!

Double Mint is just the right size to use as your foundation hedge! Perfume the air by your front entry or in rows on either side of your front steps to enchant you and your visitors with the magical scent of Gardenia! Go ahead and add a pair of matched urns on either side of your front door, potted up with Double Mint Gardenia and a pretty spiller around their base for an extra dash of curb appeal!

A great size that won't block your view along your driveway, as backdrops to your garden beds, or lines a narrow sideyard in! Divide your front yard from a busy sidewalk, or plant a hedge for both screening and property division that is neighbor-friendly and fragrant! This dense shrub doesn't grow out of bounds and stays neat and tidy without lots of maintenance!

  • Two-Inch Wide Double Blossoms
  • Incredibly Sweet Heady Fragrance
  • Glossy Dark Green Broad-Leaf Evergreen Foliage
  • Compact Round Ball 3 Feet Tall & Wide
  • Fragrant Hedges, Foundation Borders, Backdrops & Container Specimens

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Loving the full sun, Gardenia does best where they are protected from the cold, drying winter winds. Preferring the morning sun to dry the leaves of dew, but these hardy shrubs shrug off the high humidity of the south with ease!

Water well and plant in organically rich, well-draining soils. If puddles remain on your soil after a rain, or watering, consider elevating the planting area. Add 18 - 24 inches of soil above the native soil line and plant your tree directly in that mound. Planting frost-free Gardenias is best done in consistently moist, acidic soil that is enriched with lots of organic material and compost.

A generous layer of mulch helps retain soil moisture as well as insulate the root system from heat and chill. Slower-growing enough for you to not need to prune often however, to keep the blooms coming back for more, deadheading is advised once the blooms are spent. If pruning is required, be sure to prune only after the summer bloom has finished. After all, you wouldn't want to miss out on a single one of those amazing blooms!

Highly deer-resistant, Gardenia does need to get off to a good start for best results. Be sure to water well and not let newly planted shrubs dry out between waterings their first year. Water consistently and use a good slow-release blooming plant fertilizer each spring to protect your investment.

Take care when applying lawn fertilizers near flowering shrubs. These high-nitrogen formulas are designed to produce foliage, but will not support flower development. Instead, apply an all-purpose fertilizer for blooming plants in early spring. Reapply in mid-summer, following label directions for application rates.

  • Full Sun Shrubs - Favoring Morning Sun
  • Well-Drained Soil
  • Moderate Moisture Needs & Appreciates Mulched Beds
  • Prune After Summer Blooms
  • Deer Seldom Bother Gardenias

This is a remarkably easy plant to grow and it pays you over and over with its breathtaking flowers. Don't just dream about this beautiful plant and its room-filling perfume - order the First Editions® Double Mint Gardenia today to have a great show in your own home!
