Belmont Gardenia, Cape Jasmine (Gardenia jasminoides)

Elegant, Fragrant Blooms on a Hardy Evergreen Shrub! The Belmont Gardenia, a variety of Cape Jasmine (Gardenia jasminoides), is prized for its large, velvety white blooms and intoxicating fragrance. This evergreen shrub offers classic southern charm with glossy, deep green leaves that provide year-round beauty in the garden or as a container accent. The Belmont variety boasts larger flowers and stronger fragrance than typical gardenias, making it a favorite among gardeners and pollinators alike. Perfect for entryways, patios, and edible landscapes (yes, the flowers are sometimes used to scent teas and desserts!), the Belmont Gardenia is easy to grow in Zones 8-11, and can be brought indoors in colder regions. Its timeless blooms add elegance and sweet perfume to any garden setting. At Sow Exotic, our Belmont Gardenias are grown in 4" plantable biodegradable coconut coir pots, ready for easy, eco-friendly planting!
