| Botanical Name | Gardenia jasminoides 'Frostproof' |
| Description | A versatile favorite for the Willis and Houston metro area, 'Frostproof' is noted for its upright habit and ability to handle more sun than other gardenia varieties. It produces velvety white, intensely fragrant flowers in spring and summer. To thrive in our local heavy clay, it requires acidic, well-drained soil; we highly recommend planting in raised beds or amending with organic matter to prevent root rot and foliage yellowing. |
| Exposure | Full sun to partial shade (Morning sun with afternoon shade is best in Texas) |
| Height x Width | 3-4 ft. Tall x 3-4 ft. Wide |
| Water | Moderate; prefers consistent moisture. Use pine bark mulch to maintain soil acidity and keep roots cool during the intense Houston summer. |
| Zones | 7 - 11 |
| Fertilization | Apply an acid-loving plant fertilizer in early spring and again in early summer to support healthy growth and blooms. |
| Pruning | Prune after the summer blooming cycle is complete to maintain its upright, bushy shape. |
| Deer Resistance | Moderate |
