Price GuaranteeThe Diamond Spire Gardenia, part of the Southern Living Plant Collection, is a remarkable gardenia variety known for its unique columnar growth pattern and fragrant single-form blooms that appear from late spring to fall. Its evergreen foliage boasts a deep green color with pronounced veining, providing year-round structure in landscapes. This versatile plant can be used as low hedges, accents, foundation plantings, mass plantings, or in containers. It is important to note that the Diamond Spire Gardenia is hardy down to USDA zone 7. For areas below zone 7, it is recommended to grow this plant in containers or planters that can be moved indoors during the winter months to protect it from harsh temperatures. When ordering, customers will receive one 2 Gallon Diamond Spire Gardenia Shrubs, which are live plants in plastic pots with soil. To ensure safe transit, the pots will be wrapped in a poly bag to retain moisture and contain any soil that may shift during shipping. The plants will be shipped in a cardboard box designed to securely hold them in place, minimizing the risk of damage during transit.
Unique columnar growth habit; single white fragrant flowers late spring, reblooming in cycles through summer
Reaches a mature size of 3–4 feet in height and 2 feet in width, providing a slender and upright growth habit.
Suitable for outdoor growth in USDA Zones 7 to 10; in regions colder than Zone 7, it's advisable to plant in containers for indoor protection during winter.
Thrives in conditions ranging from full sun to partial shade, offering flexibility in planting locations.
The White Diamond Gardenia excels in various applications, serving as an ideal choice for accentuating landscapes, container gardening, or creating mass plantings across gardens and landscapes.
For planting and fertilizing, utilize well-draining garden soil blended with your native soil when backfilling the hole and administer a slow-release, slightly acidic fertilizer annually in the spring.
Average shipped plant size: 8-15 inches tall x 7-14 inches wide

What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise the gardenias for arriving in exceptional condition with abundant buds and early blooms, describing them as vibrant, fresh, and thriving. Many report plants flowering within days of planting with lush, healthy foliage. However, some note the plants arrived significantly smaller than expected, around five inches rather than the anticipated sixteen inches or more. A few customers experienced frustration with return processes or isolated issues like leaf yellowing. Despite these concerns, most reviewers consider the plants' quality and immediate performance highly satisfactory.

Beautiful gardenia addition to my deck
I have always enjoyed gardenias. When I saw this Diamond Spire variety, I knew I wanted it as an aromatic addition to my deck plantings. I have planted it in a pot so that I can bring it in each winter. It arrived quickly, was packaged with care, and was green and loaded with blooms and buds. I’m enjoying it deck side already!

Two died and one survived out of the three. I don’t think these can take any sun. Due to the fact that the one that survived is in full shade and the other two part shade
