Oh, the sweet Gardenia! You are the muse for many a Southern dream, the delicious base note for innumerable perfumes, and the intoxicating draw to secret gardens!
If you live in warm winter Southern zones and have never grown Gardenia, you should be ashamed! What's been keeping you from it? Does it seem too challenging? Do they seem too big?
Well, we'd like to introduce you to lovely Buttons Gardenia (Gardenia jasminoides 'Buttons'). This sweet little thing is as cute as a...well, you know… a button! But just because the size is diminutive, don't think anything else is! The alabaster white flowers are a full two inches across and have a darling button center.
Also known as Cape Jasmine, the Buttons Dwarf Gardenia is a compact ball of glossy broadleaf evergreen foliage with tons of fragrant white semi-double blossoms all spring and reblooms well into the summer months! Growing just 2-3 feet tall and spreading a bit wider, this smaller shrub is wonderfully easy to grow!
Landscape Application:
Buttons is perfectly sized to fit into modern urban gardens or to tuck into your favorite container pot! The scent matches the big flowers and will perfume your garden all summer long, especially first thing in the morning and at dusk! Make sure that you plant it somewhere it can be enjoyed up close. Buttons make a great cut flower to bring the heady scent indoors, too!
This is a relatively easy care Gardenia in southern zones and makes a great foundation plant and front-of-the-border accent! Buttons is primo for planting under trees, in raised beds, and as massing around your favorite landscaping berm or garden feature.

#ProPlantTips for Care:
If you are a gardener in USDA planting zones 8 to 10, then this sun, heat, and humidity-loving Gardenia is for you! Grow Gardenias in full sun or partial shade where it has at least four hours of direct sunlight a day. Well-drained soils are necessary, so if you suspect poor drainage - mound up or keep your shrub in containers if you have heavy, soggy soil.
Establish the root system the first year with careful attention to watering, then, put your Gardenias on a regular schedule of watering for best flowering. Apply mulch over the root system, and pull it away from touching the stems. Prune to shape as needed right after the first flush of flowers has finished.
- Full Sun & Afternoon Shade
- Loves Mulched Organically Rich Acidic Soil
- Well-Drained Moist Sites
- Prune After Flowering
- Deadhead After Flowers Fade
All the perfume, half the size! Don't let another summer go by without having this dreamy flower in your garden. Order your Buttons Gardenia soon from Nature Hills Nursery!
