Little Daisy™ Gardenia

The Little Daisy™ Gardenia is a compact evergreen bush with glossy emerald green leaves, growing under 2 feet tall, and spreading 3 feet across. It blooms from spring into early summer, and often again in early fall, with 2-inch single white blooms like a tropical daisy. They are richly fragrant and carried profusely all over the bush, making a wonderful show. This reliable, cold-resistant plant is excellent for edging and for the front of garden beds, as well as in planters and pots.

• Fragrant white blossoms from spring to fall
• Compact bush less than 2 feet tall
• Excellent emerald green evergreen foliage
• Both cold and heat resistant
• Reliable repeat blooming variety

The Little Daisy™ Gardenia is much more cold-resistant than other varieties, as well as tolerating hot summers well. It enjoys full sun in cooler zones, and afternoon shade in warmer ones. The soil should be moist, acidic, well-drained and enriched with organic materials. Mulch in spring and trim if you want after the first flush of flowers is over. Don’t trim late in the year, or before blooming. Pests and diseases won’t be problems with good watering, suitable soil and light, and regular fertilizing with foods for camellias and rhododendrons. Use potting soil for acid-loving plants.
