Gardenias are a standard in traditional Southern gardens, beloved for their captivating fragrance and deep green foliage. Now, Southern Living has introduced Gardenias with improvements that bring this cherished nostalgic plant into the modern age: they rebloom spring to fall, are more disease resistant, and offer unique growth habits.

Their compact size also simplifies maintenance and pruning, making them a fool proof addition to your garden.
Because Southern Living Gardenias are disease resistant, they stay healthy and vibrant even in the challenging conditions the South can provide. They are highly adaptable and can thrive in various soil types, including the acidic soil common in Southern regions.
