| Botanical Name | Gardenia jasminoides ‘Leeone’ PP21983 |
| Description | Part of the Southern Living® Plant Collection, ‘Jubilation’® is prized for its rich, glossy green foliage and intoxicating scent. Unlike older varieties, it offers a heavy initial spring bloom followed by occasional flowering throughout the warm months. It thrives in Southeast Texas when provided with acidic, organic-rich soil. In local heavy clay, we strongly recommend planting in a raised bed or amended mound to provide the superior drainage necessary to prevent root rot and bud drop. |
| Exposure | Full Sun to Partial Shade (Morning sun with filtered afternoon shade is ideal) |
| Height x Width | 3-4 feet tall x 3 feet wide |
| Water | Moderate; prefers consistent moisture. Do not allow to dry out completely, but ensure soil is well-drained. |
| Zones | 7 - 10 |
| Fertilization | Feed with an acid-loving plant fertilizer in early spring and again in mid-summer for best re-blooming. |
| Pruning | Prune for shape immediately after the main spring flowering cycle is finished. |
| Deer Resistance | Moderate |
