Description: Gardenia 'Grandiflora Star' is an elegant evergreen shrub known for its beautifully scented, star-shaped white flowers and glossy green foliage. This variety produces masses of fragrant blooms from late spring through summer, with occasional flowering into autumn. The flowers contrast beautifully against the dark green, dense foliage, making it a perfect addition to sensory gardens. Thriving in Melbourne’s climate, 'Grandiflora Star' prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soil and benefits from a warm, sheltered position. It is ideal for feature planting, hedging, or container gardening near patios, pathways, and entrances where its delightful fragrance can be fully appreciated. Regular feeding and light pruning promote healthy growth and prolonged blooming.
