Description
Gold Doubloon is an absolutely incredible variegated Gardenia showing off both stunning foliage and the largest flowers of any of the many varieties in our gardens. In spring new leaves emerge a bright chartreuse that turns to shades of brilliant golden yellow with small patches of deep green at the center. In late spring to early summer extremely large 4 to 5 inch white double flowers fill the garden with heavenly aroma. The leaves are also the largest of any gardenia in our gardens. At only 2 to 3 feet tall and 3 to 4 feet wide, Gold Doubloon is good fit as an accent in smaller garden spaces or containers or in groupings or as a low hedge in landscape borders, home foundation plantings or around outdoor living spaces where the fragrance and stunning flowers and foliage can be enjoyed from close up. The flowers are also great for cutting and display beautifully in your favorite vase.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 2 to 3 feet tall and 3 to 4 feet wide, the Gold Doubloon Gardenia is ideal for use as an accent, in groupings, or as a low hedge in home foundation plantings and landscape borders. Its smaller stature also makes it a nice selection for mid to large size containers. Because they like a break from the midday afternoon sun, and cold northwesterly winter winds, we think gardenias are best planted on the east side of the home or other structures. Needless to say gardenias are a fine addition for sensory gardens and near windows or outdoor living spaces where the sweet fragrance can be enjoyed.
Suggested Spacing: 3 feet apart for solid hedge; 6 feet or more apart for space between plants
Growing Preferences
Gold Doubloon Gardenia is easy to grow in moist but well-drained acidic soil of average fertility and part sun, preferably morning sun and evening with some shade or filtered sun in the mid afternoon hours. We suggest at least 5 hours of direct sunlight for best foliage color and heaviest bloom.As with so many other ornamental plants, constantly soggy or wet soils can cause root rot or other plant diseases. The east side of the home or other tall structure is a perfect spot. USDA Zones: 7a-11 Find Your Zone
Soil pH is important!
To flower their best and maintain deep green foliage color, all Gardenia require an acid to moderately acid soil ranging from 4.5 to 6.0 on the pH scale. Alkaline soil cause yellowing of foliage and flowering will be diminished.
Soil pH is a measurement of the alkalinity or acidity of soil and is measured on a scale of 1-14, with 7 as the neutral mark. Any measurement below 7 indicates acid soil conditions, and anything above 7 indicates alkaline. If you’re unsure about the pH of your soil and whether or not it’s suitable for growing Gardenia it’s a good idea to test the soil pH in the planting area. You can quickly test soil pH with an inexpensive soil pH tester probe or kit.
To lower the pH (make more acid) you can apply Soil Sulfur, Aluminum Sulfate, or Chelated Iron. Adding organic compost to the soil or using compost as mulch can also help to increase acidity and maintain acid soil conditions.

I ordered two 3 gallon sized shrubs on 9/27, the shipping label origin scan occurred on 9/30 and I received the plants in the evening on 10/4. The plants looked amazing, were a nice size with a good rootball. Before unboxing, I was initially very concerned that the plants may arrive stressed and dry since they had been in the mail fairly long but upon unboxing, I was amazed at how ‘fresh’ and gorgeous both plants looked! WOW, I received some very nice shrubs :-)!! I hope they perform as hearty as they look.—————————————————We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
Another satisfying purchase from Wilson Brothers. I am a multiple repeat customer. The reasons are simple: extremely knowledgeable staff; always available to help either by phone or email; every plant that I have ordered arrives quickly and very fresh and healthy; and planting and care instructions are always included. Prices are very competitive. Just place one small order, maybe a single plant, and I guarantee you will buy all of your future plants from Wilson Brothers! An important note: most of my orders have been small, one to five plants, and I am treated as one of their most important customers. To me that is a true sign that they are focused on customer satisfaction. I continually recommend them to family and friends. This is NOT a review that I have been compensated in any way to write.——————————————————————————–We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come!
