SOUTHERN LIVING 2 Gal. Diamond Spire Gardenia Live Evergreen Shrub with White Fragrant Blooms

Diamond Spire Gardenia is a columnar gardenia from Southern Living Plants. This variety produces loads of re-blooming daisy-shaped flowers that will perfume your garden with that heavenly gardenia scent from spring through summer. When this gardenia stops blooming, the unique spiraling structure of the foliage on its branches really takes the show. As an evergreen, this shrub will provide visual interest in your garden year-round, making it vital specimen planting in your landscape or a great candidate as a centerpiece of your container planting. Diamond Spire grows to 4 ft. tall at maturity, making it a dwarf specimen among other gardenias, and the growth rate of the plant will give you ample time to prune it back into a tidy habit.
