Proven Winners® Gardenia jasminoides 'Prince Charles' PP#29,304
Botanical Reference: Gardenia jasminoides
 
There have been a lot of Gardenia introductions, perhaps too many, but none have combined the level of heat tolerance, continuous blooming, and cold hardiness found in this introduction from Phil Dark. An improvement over the hardy 'Chuck Hayes', its fully doubled flowers do not abort in the heat of summer, but just keep coming right up until frost. A stellar performer with a well-branched, compact habit and glossy dark evergreen foliage.
