Double Mint Gardenia jasminoides Gardenia Shrub
Compact Habit, Same Unbelievable Fragrance!
Reblooms, reblooms, reblooms! From midsummer through early fall, this compact, robust little shrub sets masses of double-flowered white blooms, wondrously fragrant and so beautiful among glossy evergreen foliage. Add it to your landscape at once!
'Double Mint' is very tightly branched and dense, remaining just 2½ to 3 feet high and wide but setting big 2-inch flowers of softest ivory-white. The fragrance these blooms release is sweet, pervasive, and simply heavenly. There's nothing like a 'Double Mint' shrub beneath a window or along a garden path!
Best in full sun but tolerant of a bit of shade, this quick-growing shrub begins blooming the very first season, and continues for many years thereafter. You're going to love it in the border, meadow garden, or your finest containers! Zones 7-9.
