Description
A hardy gardenia that has demonstrated cold tolerance to below 0F, ‘Snow Flurry’ features elegant and wonderfully fragrant pure white single to semi double flowers beginning in late spring and then sporadically reblooming during summer into fall. The flowers really pop against the background of dark green, glossy foliage on a mounding plant to maybe 3 feet tall and around 4 feet wide. Situate this sensory beauty near patios and other outdoor living spaces or along paths and walkways. Enjoy the cut flowers in indoor flower arrangements as well.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 3 feet tall and 4 to 5 feet wide, the Snow Flurry Gardenia is ideal for use as an accent, in groupings, or as a hedge in home foundation plantings and landscape borders. Its smaller stature also makes it a good fit for mid to large size containers which can be overwintered indoors in zones north of 6. Because they like a break from the midday afternoon sun, and cold northwesterly winter winds, 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: 4 feet apart for solid hedge; 7 feet or more apart for space between plants
Growing Preferences
Gardenia are exceptionally easy to grow in moist but well-drained soils of average fertility and part sun, preferably morning sun with some shade or filtered sun in the mid afternoon hours. 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.

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.
