With flowers that are unaffected by late cold snaps and plants that thrive on neglect, the Frost Proof Gardenia was the winner of the 2007 Garden Writers Best Plants Award for very good reason. An abundance of double, pinwheel-like flowers are produced from spring into summer and exude that sweet, heavenly fragrance gardenia lovers love. If you've never grown a gardenia, it's a fragrance that captivates. What's more, the flowers of Frostproof are great for cutting, lasting longer in the vase than the flowers of other gardenia varieties. The upright bushy plants are unique in that they have a narrower leaf similar to that of G. radicans.
