Description: Gardenia 'Ocean Pearl' is a compact, evergreen shrub prized for its beautifully scented, creamy white flowers and lush, glossy green foliage. Blooming from late spring through summer, this variety produces an abundance of highly fragrant, rose-like blooms that fade to soft ivory as they age. Thriving in Melbourne’s climate, 'Ocean Pearl' prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soil and a warm, sheltered position. Its naturally bushy and compact habit makes it perfect for hedging, borders, feature planting, or growing in pots near patios and entrances where its exquisite fragrance can be fully appreciated. Regular feeding, mulching, and light pruning will promote healthy growth and continuous flowering.
