Gardenia radicans

Creeping Gardenia

Description:
Gardenia radicans is a low-growing, evergreen shrub with glossy, deep green foliage and highly fragrant, creamy-white double flowers in spring and summer. It is a compact, spreading form of the common gardenia, making it ideal as a groundcover, border edging, or for container planting. The flowers are strongly scented, adding a delightful perfume to the garden or patio.

Height:

30–50 cm

Width:

60–120 cm (spreading habit)

Position:

Prefers a warm, sheltered spot. Best in full sun to part shade. Protect from cold winds and frost.

Soil:

Acidic, free-draining soil rich in organic matter. Avoid alkaline or lime soils. Consistent moisture is important but avoid waterlogging.

Uses:

·         Fragrant groundcover in garden beds

·         Border or edging plant

·         Excellent in pots and containers near entrances or outdoor seating areas to enjoy the perfume

·         Underplanting in sheltered areas

Care tips:

·         Apply an acid-loving plant fertiliser (such as camellia/rhododendron food) in spring and summer.

·         Keep soil evenly moist, especially in hot or dry periods. Mulch to conserve soil moisture.

·         Lightly trim after flowering to maintain compact shape and encourage bushy growth.

·         Cover with frost cloth or place in a sheltered spot in cooler regions.

·         Avoid disturbing roots when planting; gardenias resent root disturbance
